Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Singletary, who at the end of the season suggested the team might go after a passer who could compete with Smith for the No. 1 job in the offseason, gave the first overall pick in 2005 a renewed vote of confidence. "I feel very good about saying that Alex Smith is our starter going into next season," Singletary said. ... Time will tell, but Smith's late-season success certainly gives the Niners reason enough for optimism.
