Playing in his first football game in over 8 months Michael Crabtree showed some of the skills that everyone heard about but hadn't seen yet. No one was sure what to expect from a guy who hadn't played football yet this season due to a long hold out, as well as the last time we saw him do anything he was dealing with some injuries to his foot. So in his first game of what the 49ers hope to be a long career, Crabtree had 5 receptions for 56 yards, not bad, especially in point per reception leagues. With a lack of playmakers, the 49ers will try as hard as they can to make Crabtree a part of this offense. The 49ers play the Colts this week and should be in tough, so they will need all the help they can get from Crabtree. Start Crabtree from here on out, especially in ppr leagues.
