Move over Alex Smith - the contest is over. JT O'Sullivan has claimed the starting QB spot in San Francisco. Expect his Nerd ranking to climb. "J.T. O'Sullivan will be our starting quarterback going into the season and I'm expecting him to succeed," said coach Mike Nolan. "I'm very confident J.T. is at the point where he's our best man for the job right now."
The QB contest is over, but that's not the best news coming out of SFO. Frank Gore is apparently grasping Mike Martz's complex offensive system and is expected to put his 2007 numbers to shame this year. Fantasy owners should expect more receptions from Gore this year, which looks pretty good if you're in a PPR league.
