Wide Receiver Rank: #52
Overall: #181
A groin injury knocked Morgan out of four games his rookie season, but he played pretty well when healthy. He was a top big-play threat for the 49ers, averaging 16 yards per reception on 20 catches. Morgan also scored three touchdowns. He could be the starter from day one this season in San Francisco, competing with rookie Michael Crabtree for that spot. But remember, Mike Martz isn't calling plays anymore, so the 49ers will be run-first a lot more this season. Morgan is a big, strong receiver with good athletic ability. He does struggle with some drops, but makes a lot of big plays.

Morgan has some upside, but don't get overly excited because the 49ers aren't going to be a great passing team. Morgan will be worth some spot starts, but taking him as anything more than a No. 3 or 4 receiver is a bad idea. |

| Matthew Barrows, of the Sacramento Bee, reports San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary said WR Josh Morgan could see more playing time than WR Michael Crabtree in Week 7 even if Morgan does not start because Morgan will see time at both receiver positions during the game. |
| Fantasy Impact: Morgan is probably the better fantasy play this week, but we would avoid both options if possible. |

| Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Josh Morgan has seen some work on kickoff returns in practice. He is expected to be the team's No. 3 receiver with WR Michael Crabtree returning to action. |
| Fantasy Impact: His fantasy value takes a hit with Crabtree on board. We wouldn't even bother with a roster spot unless you are in a deep league. |

| Matt Maiocco, of The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers WR Josh Morgan is capitalizing on WR Michael Crabtree not being signed and further entrenching himself as a starter with the 49ers. Head coach Mike Singletary said the team has a lot of confidence in Morgan and noted he has a lot of potential. He has been lining up as one of the team's starting wide receivers thus far in training camp. |
| Fantasy Impact: Move Morgan up a few spots on your draft board. He could have a solid season if starting from day one, which is very likely right now. |

| Matthew Barrows, of the Sacramento Bee, reports the San Francisco 49ers would look to have WR Josh Morgan and WR Michael Crabtree on the field at the same time if both prove to be the team's top two receivers. Morgan and Crabtree currently are slated to play the 'X' position this season. However, all of the team's receivers are taught to play multiple positions. |
