Our View: Battle is a special teamer, and no longer a factor in the Niners' crowded receiving corps. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Arnaz_Battle/637539 637539 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:40:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Arnaz_Battle/637539 49ers stick with Jones for return game According to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, the 49ers will continue to use Brandon Jones as the team's primary punt returner.

Our View: Jones has been essentially ineffective on returns this season with five opportunities and just three yards gained. He also hasn't recorded a fair catch, but with Nate Clements out with a shoulder injury the Niners have decided to give Jones another chance to prove himself. If he doesn't make any waves in Week 10, expect to see Arnaz Battle jump into the mix. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Arnaz_Battle/635528 635528 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 9:10:01 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Arnaz_Battle/635528 Five Niners fail to record a stat News: 49ers RB Moran Norris, WR Brandon Jones, WR Arnaz Battle, TE Brian Jennings and QB Shaun Hill all failed to record a stat Week 9 against the Titans.

He will line up across the field from Isaac Bruce.

Our View: Well, that didn't take long. Reports of Crabtree getting buried on the depth chart appear to have been greatly exaggerated. Claims of him likely being behind Josh Morgan, Brandon Jones and Arnaz Battle were all well and good, but flawed for one reason - they're not as talented as Crabtree is. This accelerates his time-table for fantasy relevancy, as well, just don't expect any immediate miracles. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Arnaz_Battle/592345 592345 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 16:40:02 EDT fanball.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Arnaz_Battle/592345 Battle is expected to lose his spot as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver with the return of Brandon Jones (shoulder) Battle is expected to lose his spot as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver with the return of Brandon Jones (shoulder) and addition of rookie Michael Crabtree, but appears to have regained his role as the team's primary punt returner with the release of Allen Rossum, the Press Democrat reports.
