The Facts:
Now entering his fourth season, Crabtree said he's feeling the best he ever has during the offseason of his NFL career. "I'm taking care of my body and that's from growing up," Crabtree told 49ers.com on Tuesday. "You learn how to take care of your body better."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It would appear the left foot issues which have hampered the young receiver's early career seem to be a thing of the past. With his legs under him, 49ers.com staffer Taylor Price reports that Crabtree was arguably the most impressive receiver in the 49ers pass-catching drills which included a gauntlet-like receiving drill seen every year at the NFL Scouting Combine. Back in 2009, Crabtree missed out on the combine due to a fracture in his left foot. Crabtree's strong offseason work doesn't surprise general manager Trent Baalke, who told Sirius XM radio this week that Crabtree's skill sets are "going to shine even brighter this year because he's going to have a full offseason. ..." Through four seasons, Crabtree has played in 42 games, catching 175 passes for 2,240 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. He came on strong in the final weeks of the 2011 regular season, hauling in a 41-yard pass to set up a Week 16 game-winning field goal, followed by a two-touchdown game in a Week 17 win over the St. Louis Rams. It'll be interesting to see what he can do with an early start.
