The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... Johnson recorded three 1,000-yard seasons in a four-year span with the Bills, but he found himself traded last week to his hometown team. Despite the change of scenery, Johnson sees all of San Francisco’s returning pass-catchers as equals. “Right now, we’re all ones,” Johnson told 49ers.com on Tuesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 49ers currently have a receiving crew of Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin, Quinton Patton and Kassim Osgood returning from the 2013 roster, plus the addition of Brandon Lloyd in free agency, among the 11 total wideouts on the roster. “The defense has gotta pick their poison, whether they’re going to double-team Anquan, whether they’re going to double-team Crab, Vernon (Davis), me, Q.P. is coming in – you gotta pick your poison," Johnson said. “We gotta handle our business.” While the first part of that sentence is somewhat hyperbolic, the last part isn't: They all need to do their job. As to whether they're all No. 1s? From a fantasy football perspective, we see a TE1 (Davis), a couple of WR2s (Crabtree and Boldin) and if all goes well a WR3-4 (Johnson) with a bit of upside (assuming he can avoid injury).
