http://www.fantasysp.com/nfl_player_news/Isaac_Bruce FantasySP / NFL / Isaac Bruce Copyright 2009 652401 The Baltimore Sun is reporting that San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver Isaac Bruce is probable for Sunday's game against the Packers. Bruce is dealing with ankle and elbow injuries.

Our View: Bruce has fallen down the depth chart in San Fran, but it looks like he will be active this week. Don't expect him to see enough targets to be a fantasy contributor, as Jason Hill has passed him on the depth chart. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/652401 652401 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 0:25:02 EDT fanball.com 11 hours 4 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/652401 Bruce (ankle, elbow) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, the 49ers' official site reports.

Singletary said, “I know he's not starting. Whether he's No. 3, No. 4 or No. 5, I don't know right now.” http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/646625 646625 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 2:50:01 EDT kffl.com 3 days 8 hours 39 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/646625 The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports that wide receiver Josh Morgan will get the start on Sunday over Isaac Bruce.

Our View: Morgan has started all nine games this season and Bruce has been held out of the last three, so this isn't really ground-breaking stuff. It looks as if Michael Crabtree is the WR1, with Morgan as the number-two, Jason Hill earning third-string duties and Bruce as the fourth or fifth receiver on the depth chart. Still, none are very good fantasy plays until the Niners show some improvement and growth in the quarterback department. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/645936 645936 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:30:02 EDT fanball.com 3 days 16 hours 59 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/645936 News: 49ers coach Mike Singletary announced that WR Isaac Bruce's ankle injury has healed up, but that WR Josh Morgan would remain the starter at the flanker spot with rookie WR Michael Crabtree remaining the split end. Bruce and WR Jason Hill will both see time as the third receiver, depending on the package. Singletary added that Bruce was classy, as he expected him to be, when he was told he no longer will be starting. "He was very positive about it, and he said, 'I feel that Josh is ready for this,'" said Singletary, adding that Bruce is "all about the team."

Our View: Jason Hill took his spot in the lineup. At age 37, if Bruce has anything left in the tank, it would be put to better use in a veteran offense, rather than one re-breaking in a young quarterback and grooming a bevy of young receivers. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/637522 637522 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 10:30:02 EDT fanball.com 8 days 59 minutes http://www.fantasysp.com/player/nfl/Isaac_Bruce/637522 News: NFL.com reports that 49ers WR Isaac Bruce will not be active for the team's Week 10 game against the Bears on Thursday due to an ankle injury that he aggravated in practice on Tuesday.
