While not the best division in the NFL, it is full of great fantasy talent...

Premier Fantasy Players
San Francisco 49ers RB Frank Gore- The 49ers had a very disappointing season and Frank Gore's injury didn't help San Fran at all. If Gore can stay 100% healthy for the entire 2011 season, he will be one of the best fantasy RB's in the league. Gore played in 13 games last season and only had 156.50 points. He is projected to score 223.50 points this season, so Gore could be the your #1 RB or even a substitution option if he is available late in the draft. 

San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis- The 49ers have a lot of talent, so it is a mystery why this team can't make the playoffs. Davis busted out on the scene in 2009 when he had 13 touchdowns, which tied Antonio Gates' record for most touchdowns by a TE in a season. The instability at QB last season didn't hold Davis back, as he scored 135.40 points. If new coach Jim Harbaugh can help Alex Smith then that will only boost Davis' stock. If you are to worried about the QB situation, then making him a starting TE could be a bad idea. 

Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald- The person who was hurt most from Kurt Warner's retirement, was Fitzgerald, who's numbers dropped in 2010. If you want to call 151.70 points a down season, then this is the best WR in the game. Now that the Cardinals traded for Kevin Kolb, Fitzgerald actually has a Pro Bowl caliber QB throwing to him and he can lead your team at WR. Having Kolb will only benefit Fitzgerald and he is projected to score 178.70 points but could have MVP type season if Kolb plays well. 

St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson- While Sam Bradford is taking over this offense quicker then expected, the Rams will not be able to go to the playoffs if Jackson does not have another Pro Bowl season. Jackson is primed for another 1,000 yard season and is projected to score 204.40 points in 2011. Jackson is one of the most underrated RB's in the game, so he might fall into the later rounds and could be a steal for you and your fantasy team. 

Sleepers 
San Francisco 49ers WR Braylon Edwards- The only way Edwards will have a good season is if Alex Smith has a good season, so there is some major risk there. Edwards will make make Smith look better, but it all starts with the QB. Edwards is only supposed to score 85.70 points, so it would be wise to only pick him if you are in a deep league. Otherwise, wait to see how he preforms during the season and pick him off waivers if he starts playing well. 

Arizona Cardinals QB Kevin Kolb- The Cardinals took a real risk on trading a second round pick and DRC to the Eagles. Picking Kolb in your fantasy draft could also be a real risk, considering he has only started seven games in his career. Kolb is still a QB in the worst division in the NFL, so he could be a nice plug-in option if your starter is injured. If you are in a two QB league, Kolb would be a good option, but only at the right price because he is projected to score 235.58 points.
