Week 16 Outlook
Availability
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Pierre Garcon is being placed on injured reserve this week due to a lingering knee injury, according to a report from senior reporter Joe Fann.
Fantasy Impact
Garcon has not played since Week 9 due to a knee injury and will finish the season with 24 catches for 286 yards and one touchdown in eight games. That is obviously not the kind of production that Garcon and the 49ers were hoping for this season, and it marks the second straight subpar year after signing a five-year contract before the 2017 season.
Pierre Garcon has been ruled out for Week 14 due to his knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
It's not clear if Garcon will be back this year, but the team has yet to put him on season-ending IR. Still, it's hard to see him returning in a fantasy-relevant role to end the season. In his absence, Dante Pettis has stepped into a fantasy-relevant role. Marquise Goodwin is back, but he's unlikely to receive enough of a boost to be more than his usual TD-dependent self.
Pierre Garcon has been ruled out Week 13 with a knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Garcon will join Marquise Goodwin on the sidelines Week 13. In their place, the 49ers will continue to rely on Dante Pettis and Kendrick Bourne against the Seahawks.
Pierre Garcon will be sidelined Week 12 due to a knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Garcon will remain out with the injury, as he's not been sidelined since Week 9. George Kittle remains the only must-start option in this offense, and Garcon's absence should help Kittle continue to see a hefty amount of targets.
Pierre Garcon missed Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Fantasy Impact
Garcon hasn't played since Week 9 due to the injury, and it's not a good sign that he's missing practice off the bye. Owners considering him will need to monitor reports through the remainder of the week.
