... been eligible to play in after his contract stalemate dragged on more than 10 weeks. Crabtree spent the bye week and the weekend working out with backup quarterback Alex Smith and apparently the 49ers saw enough of Crabtree and have not seen enough of their other wide receivers to make the bold move, this according to Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. They gave him my spot. So if he's going to be in there, I might as well help him out so I can make sure he gets it right, soon to be ex-starter Josh Morgan told Maiocco . The plan, apparently, is for Crabtree to start ...

“I’m helping him learn my position and take my position,” said Morgan, who ranks second on the 49ers behind Vernon Davis in receiving. Morgan has 13 catches for 202 yards and one touchdown. “It is what it is. If he can help us win, I’m all right with that.

... . Josh Morgan was informed Monday that Crabtree will be taking his place in the starting lineup opposite Isaac Bruce, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat . Morgan stuck around the 49ers facility during the team's bye week to help Crabtree assimilate into the offense. Morgan leads San Francisco wideouts in receiving yards, yards per catch, and touchdowns. (Well, touchdown to be precise. He's the only 49er wide receiver to catch one.) Mike Singletary didn't confirm the move, but said it was a "strong possibility" that Crabtree would start, even though he's sensitive ...
Breaking News: Crabtree to Start
Hard Knox Sports —
... In a surprising fantasy football update, San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Michael Crabtree will start opposite Isaac Bruce against the Houston Texans, according to wide receiver Josh Morgan. Crabtree is the type of freak athlete that can make an immediate impact, even though he has missed significant time due to his holdout. Morgan leads the receivers with only one touchdown. At the very least, Crabtree will be a decoy that will help take some of the pressure away from running back Frank Gore. Crabtree is the key for the 49ers to make the playoffs and ...

49ers update: Crabtree to start Sunday vs. Houston? Wow, that’s fast
Kawakami —
It looks like Michael Crabtree will not only make his NFL debut Sunday in Houston–Matt Maiocco reports that Crabtree probably will be starting ahead of Josh Morgan and alongside Isaac Bruce. My goodness. I totally believe it because I believe Maiocco. Plus, this sounds very fast, but also very 49ers: They need instant oomph in their offense, and Crabtree clearly has been impressive in the practices and workouts during the bye week. And Mike Singletary and Scot McCloughan are not people who like to keep their best, fastest talent sitting on the sidelines while the team ...

... with one night of light cramming. But here’s the lost amazing part of this tale. Crabtree hung around team headquarters over the bye weekend being tutored by fellow receiver Josh Morgan . In other words, Morgan helped Crabtree take his job. I thought I lived in a land where giant-egoed Terrell Owens es, and Braylon Edwards es roamed in great wide receiver herds, chewing up all the attention and playing time for themselves. Morgan is an entirely different animal indeed. From the PRESS DEMOCRAT’s ...

Despite being the team’s second-leading receiver behind Vernon Davis, Morgan may be forced to share time in the slot receiver (Y) rotation and potentially become a return man. However, San Francisco offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye ...

Niners Nation —
... With that said, isn't it altogether ironic - not to mention, depressing - that the coaching staff has decided Michael Crabtree will take over Morgan's starting WR spot??? Here you have a situation where the 49ers have no downfield passing attack. Every stat points to them being the dinkingest and dunkingest of dink-and-dunk passing OFFs. So the solution - of course - is to keep as a starter the WR who averages about 5 yards per target, and bench the one who averages about twice that. Having ...

... Crabtree to replace Morgan as starter? Wow. Morgan was seemingly turning the corner, averaging 3.3-54-0.3 over the last three weeks. That’s a healthy 53-864-5 pace over a 16-game season. It’s not shocking that Crabtree would eventually take over, but that the move would happen so quickly. The rookie is suddenly fantasy viable. He’s not starter-worthy, but he is roster-worthy in 12-team leagues. ...
