The Facts:
Battle said he missed 49ers organized team activities this week "for personal reasons." He plans to attend the voluntary workouts next week, he indicated.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As noted in a previous item, Battle's unexplained absence raised some eyebrows this week at the team's OTAs in Santa Clara. Battle, the 49ers most reliable wide receiver the past two seasons, is fighting for playing time. He is the No. 2 flanker behind veteran Isaac Bruce, but could see considerable action this season as the No. 3 wideout in Mike Martz's offense. Last season, the Lions had three wide receivers catch more than 60 passes under Martz's direction. Battle led the 49ers' wide receivers with 50 catches for 600 yards and five touchdowns.
