Fantasy Football Cut-N-Go: Brandon Marshall Still Needs a New Home

Brandon MarshallCut-N-Go is Fantasy Football FanHouse's daily gathering of links from around the web, covering the goings-on in NFL Training Camp which have an impact on fantasy value.

In news that surprises no one, disgruntled Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall admitted he's "not close" to being comfortable with the new playbook. According to The Colorado Springs Gazette, Marshall stood with the defensive players on the sideline and didn't take any normal repetitions during 11-on-11 drills at Wednesday's practice.

"There are trust issues on both sides. It's understandable. We've got to try our best to move forward," said Marshall. Does this sound like a man who's anxious to play football in Denver this season? Or even someone you want to spend a high fantasy football draft pick on?

Niners Moving On Despite Crabtree Saga

Michael CrabtreeGive the San Francisco 49ers a little credit. The rebuilding franchise may have screwed up royally by using the No. 10 overall draft pick on a high-maintenance wide receiver, Michael Crabtree, who has yet to prove to anyone he is anywhere close to NFL-ready following surgery to repair a left foot fracture.

At least the 49ers are displaying solidarity in refusing to buckle to Crabtree's stubborn demands that he is paid what a Top 5 draft pick should receive, and not what a No. 10 selection is worth.

The team is moving on with business sans Crabtree -- and that's a good thing, for a struggling football operation that desperately needs to salvage credibility within the Bay Area community and around the NFL.

Vernon Davis Would Like Michael Crabtree to 'Get His Butt' to Camp

Forty-Niners tight end Vernon Davis has been known to say what's on his mind, and more than once it's gotten him into trouble. But I don't think anybody would disagree with his recent sentiments concerning the team's first-round pick Michael Crabtree, who remains unsigned because, shockingly, he wants more money.

Specifically, the 10th-overall selection is looking for a Darrius Heyward-Bey payday (DHB was taken seventh by the Raiders). Davis is unimpressed.

"He needs to get his butt here and help this team out," Davis told ESPN's Colleen Dominguez. "He has a chance to be a big-time player. He should take what he can get and get here."

San Francisco 49ers: It's Mike Singletary's Team Now

Because the NFL season never ends, we present our 2009 Offseason Roadmaps for front offices to navigate through the summer.

After the uneventful tenure of head coach Mike Nolan, the San Francisco 49ers decided to promote Mike Singletary to interim head coach during the 2008 season.

After a bizarre debut that saw Singletary address his team without pants, the 49ers finished the season on a 5-4 run under their new coach, ending the year with a 7-9 record. Had it not been for a confusing ending to a Monday night game against Arizona, the 49ers would have finished with a .500 record for the first time since 2002. So close, yet so far.
