The San Francisco 49ers have acquired New York Giants wide receiver
Mario Manningham with a two-year contract, a league source confirmed to Scout.
Manningham became an instant hero in New York last month with his
tiptoe, 38-yard catch down the sideline to launch the Giants' game-winning
drive against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Most believed that

Wait to see who his QB is before
drafting this man. |
Shacks’ Take: Manningham’s value is directly tied to who the
49er’s get to play quarterback this year.
Mario is still likely a WR#3 on this team behind Moss and Crabtree. If Smith resigns, he’s a low end WR 3 or 4 on
your fantasy team. If Manning signs, he
becomes a borderline top 25 guy. If
neither signs and San Fran is stuck using Colin Kaepernick at QB, he’ll be
barely a blip on the fantasy radar. Stay
tuned for more on the entire 49er’s forecast once they’ve decided on a QB (or
in Manning’s case a QB has decided on them).
