What It Means:

Garcon, who was labeled a 'bulldog' by his head coach Kyle Shanahan, figures to be the top option at wideout for San Francisco QB Brian Hoyer. It's an intriguing matchup for the veteran wideout as last year the Panthers had issues in their secondary, allowing 268.2 yards through the air per game. The Niners aren't expected to be competitive this year and Hoyer isn't a world-beater under center, but Garcon should continue to be relevant for fantasy owners.

Our models rank Garcon as the 67th-best wideout in Week 1 with 5.2 receptions, 66.5 yards and 0.3 touchdowns. We predict the veteran receiver to put up 11.1 FanDuel points at a price of $6,600.
