Fantasy Impact:

James sustained the injury while training and will miss the next two months. He is mainly used on special teams, returning 33 punts for 264 yards and 20 kickoffs for 428 yards. The 49ers recently lost Deebo Samuel (foot) while training with teammates. The 49ers wide receiver depth suddenly becomes thin after losing two key players. James hauled in nine catches for 165 yards and a touchdown across 16 games last season. Look for Travis Benjamin and DJ Reed to get work in special teams with James sidelined.
