Marquise Goodwin

Goodwin is one of the tougher players to project this season, as the 49ers will be welcoming Pierre Garcon back to the lineup, they added Jerick McKinnon in free agency, and they traded up in the second-round to snag Dante Pettis. Still, Goodwin was the alpha-dog for Jimmy Garoppolo last year, totaling 51 targets, 34 receptions, 545 yards, and two touchdowns over the final seven games of the season. You have to wonder if that chemistry carries over into this season, or was it more of a "there's really no one else to throw to" scenario? There's risk with drafting him as a top-30 wide receiver, but if you get him around the WR40 range, you can afford to take that risk.

Marquise Goodwin signs 3-year extension with 49ers

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting that the 49ers and Marquise Goodwin have agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension that will keep him with the team until 2021.

Fantasy Impact

The extension itself is worth $20.3 million with $10 million in guaranteed money. It's not a bad price for Goodwin, as he stepped up down the stretch and showed real chemistry with Jimmy Garoppolo. He finished with 39 receptions for 613 yards and two touchdowns from Week 9 through Week 17, good enough to be fantasy's No. 17 wide receiver during that time. His extension does add some question to whether or not the 49ers pursue Allen Robinson or Sammy Watkins in free agency, simply because they now have Goodwin and Pierre Garcon under contract through 2021. As of right now, Goodwin has the looks of a WR4 in fantasy football, though a big-name free agent signing would certainly derail that.
