NINERS ACQUIRE WR JEREMY KERLEY
The San Francisco 49ers acquired wide receiver Jeremy Kerley from the Detroit Lions for offensive lineman Brandon Thomas.
What does it give the San Francisco 49ers
The Niners had a little depth at guard, so they used it here to acquire a decent possession receiver in Kerley. He could be used as a No. 4 or 5 receiver in San Francisco, and he can also be used as a punt returner.
What does it give the Detroit Lions
The Lions have issues in terms of offensive line depth, so they used an extra wideout (Kerley) here in order to land Thomas (who should make the squad as a backup guard to begin 2016). This deal helps both squads.
Fantasy impact
Kerley's fantasy value is very low but it takes an even bigger dip moving from pass-happy Detroit to the run-oriented 49ers. He should not be drafted in virtually all league formats.
