Brandon Aiyuk Catches Touchdown In Blowout Win

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk opened up the scoring for his offense with a 13-yard, first-quarter touchdown strike in their 34-3 win at the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Aiyuk looked like he might be on track for a monster day, but most of his involvement came early on as he only had one […]

Christian McCaffrey Ends Touchdown Streak, Productive Anyway

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will remain tied with Baltimore Colts Hall of Famer Lenny Moore for the most consecutive games with a touchdown at 17 after failing to score in Sunday's 34-3 rout of the Jacksonville Jaguars. McCaffrey had a useful fantasy day regardless, finishing with 95 yards on 16 carries and […]

Brock Purdy Rights The Ship In Jacksonville

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was productive in a 34-3 domination of the Jaguars in Duval County on Sunday. Purdy finished the day completing 19 of 26 attempts for 296 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. Purdy was pulled from the game with over half of the fourth quarter remaining and the game well […]

49ers D/ST Clinging To Top-10 Status

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST unit has fallen off in recent weeks due to a number of factors. After a Week 8 game when they allowed the Cincinnati Bengals to score 31 points, head coach Kyle Shanahan told the press that it stuck out "just how slow and tired we looked" and lamented big holes […]

Jake Moody Startable Against Jacksonville

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Duval County on Sunday. Moody, who started his NFL career a perfect nine-for-nine on field goal attempts, has gone through some growing pains of late. After missing two field goals in the Cleveland game, including a game-deciding miss, he missed his first […]

George Kittle Facing Favorable Matchup In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle goes to Jacksonville this week to face the Jaguars on Sunday. Kittle, 30, is coming off a fruitful Week 8 performance in which he posted 149 yards receiving on nine receptions and 11 targets, all team-highs. Jacksonville's defense, which plays zone coverage on nearly 70% of snaps, was […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Solid WR1 Coming Off Bye

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk heads to Duval on Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. In Week 8, Aiyuk picked up 109 yards receiving on five receptions and nine targets. Jacksonville's defense has been excellent overall by DVOA, ranking third in the NFL. However, they are tied for the 10th-most fantasy points allowed […]

Elijah Mitchell Not Useful In Week 10

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell travels with the team to Jacksonville on Sunday to take on the Jaguars. Jacksonville has a stout run defense, which ranks fourth in the NFL at 79.3 yards allowed per game. More importantly, though, San Francisco's running game is likely to continue to be a one-man show with […]

Christian McCaffrey To Resume Historic Season After Bye

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey takes on the fourth-ranked Jaguars defense in Jacksonville on Sunday. Jacksonville's defense has only allowed 79.3 yards per game on the ground and has been the third-stingiest to opposing running backs at 11.8 fantasy points per game. In recent weeks, McCaffrey's fantasy value has been buoyed by his […]

Brock Purdy Looks For Fresh Start After Bye

Quarterback Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers will travel to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars on Sunday. The quality of Purdy's matchup this week is debatable, as Jacksonville comes into the contest having allowed the league's sixth-most quarterback fantasy points per game but is third-best in the NFL in defensive DVOA. Purdy comes […]

Jauan Jennings Recedes To Usual Role

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings was not targeted in the team's 31-17 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. In Week 7 with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) out, Jennings had a career-high nine targets, leading some intrepid deep-league fantasy managers to make waiver claims hoping that Jennings was becoming a thing. It shouldn't […]

George Kittle Sets Season High In Receptions, Yards

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had one of his best games of 2023 in a 31-17 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. He pulled in nine of 11 targets for 149 yards receiving, all season-highs for Kittle. He was already having a good day, but his final yardage total nearly doubled […]

Brandon Aiyuk Goes Over 100 Yards

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk had a solid game on Sunday at home versus the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished with five catches on nine targets for 109 yards receiving. While he took a back seat to George Kittle in targets, receptions, and yards in the game, Aiyuk made the most of his chances […]

Christian McCaffrey Ties NFL Record With Two Touchdowns

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey scored a touchdown in his 17th consecutive game, including playoffs, in Sunday's 31-17 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brock Purdy Turning Into A Pumpkin?

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy failed to lead his team to a comeback victory for the third consecutive game on Sunday in a 31-17 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Purdy completed 22 of 31 attempts for 365 yards passing, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He also scrambled six times for 57 yards, the […]

San Francisco 49ers D/ST Falls Out Of Top-10

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST will take on a rested Cincinnati Bengals offense on Sunday in Santa Clara. The 49ers have been consistently ranked in the top five up to this point in 2023 but have shown some cracks as of late. San Francisco brass has put together a defense predicated on getting to the […]

Jake Moody A Good Option In Week 8

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will carry a tenuous momentum into a home matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. A week after a disastrous performance in Cleveland in which he missed two crucial kicks, including a game-deciding fourth-quarter attempt, Moody missed his first field goal attempt in Minnesota from 40 yards away. […]

George Kittle Faces Good Matchup With Momentum

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is set for a productive day in his Week 8 matchup at home versus the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Last week, in a tough loss to Minnesota, Kittle led all 49ers in receiving yards with 78 on five receptions while adding one carry for two yards. Cincinnati's defense […]

Jauan Jennings A Back-End Flex Play

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings may be worth a gamble in 12-team leagues this Sunday when the team faces the Cincinnati Bengals at home. In Week 7 at Minnesota, Jennings paced the 49ers with a career-high nine targets which he turned into five catches for 54 yards receiving. With starting wide receiver Deebo […]

Brandon Aiyuk A Borderline WR1 In Week 8

As odd as it sounds, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will attempt to reclaim his role as the team's No. 1 receiving target this Sunday when the Cincinnati Bengals come to the Bay Area. Last week against Minnesota with Deebo Samuel out with a shoulder injury, Aiyuk should have been a slam dunk […]

Christian McCaffrey Could Extend Record Streak Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey will square up with a struggling Cincinnati Bengals run defense on Sunday in Santa Clara. Last week the overall RB1 broke the NFL record for most consecutive games with a touchdown, including playoffs. He finished the game with a solid line of 15 carries for 45 yards and […]

Elijah Mitchell Not Viable For Lineups In Week 8

Fantasy managers should consider San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell to be no more than a bench stash in Week 8 when the team hosts the Cincinnati Bengals. For most of the week leading up to San Francisco's Week 7 matchup with Minnesota, Mitchell stashers were licking their chops in anticipation of starter Christian […]

Sam Darnold Might Draw Start On Sunday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold could be in line for his first start of the year in Week 8 at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Regular quarterback Brock Purdy remained in the league's concussion protocol on Friday and could be forced to sit. In 2022 with the Panthers, Darnold averaged 14.4 fantasy points per […]

George Kittle Leads Team In Receiving Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle continued his roller-coaster pattern of fantasy production in Monday night's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota. He turned his seven targets into five catches for a team-leading 78 yards receiving and added two yards on one carry. It was a welcome sight for fantasy managers who stuck […]

Jauan Jennings Sees Career-High Nine Targets

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings was targeted a career- and team-high nine times in Monday night's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota. Jennings, 26, has spent his three-year NFL career no higher than WR3 on the 49ers' depth chart and has broken 10 fantasy points just twice. He hauled in five passes […]

Brandon Aiyuk Catches Five Passes In Loss

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk hauled in five of six targets for 57 yards in the team's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday night. While he didn't leave fantasy managers completely hanging, it was a bit of a disappointing performance considering the context. Minnesota came into the game with mediocre […]

Christian McCaffrey Breaks NFL Record Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey set the NFL record for the most consecutive games with a touchdown, including playoffs, at 16 in the team's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday. McCaffrey, who had fantasy managers sweating for most of the week due to uncertainty concerning an oblique injury, didn't show […]

Brock Purdy Falls Short In Fourth Quarter

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy lost his second consecutive start on Monday night in Minneapolis against the Vikings. Purdy, who had a long unbeaten streak snapped last week in Cleveland, threw a game-ending interception in the final minute while trying to get his team in position to take the lead with a touchdown. He […]

San Francisco 49ers D/ST A Good Play In Minnesota

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST will be a top option when they face a decent Minnesota Vikings offense in Minneapolis in Week 7. The Vikings come into Monday night's game as the 12th-ranked offense in the NFL, averaging 332.6 yards per game. However, their offense lacks its usual firepower without superstar wideout Justin Jefferson, who […]

Jake Moody A Solid Option In Minnesota

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody has a good chance to deliver for fantasy managers when the team goes to Minnesota to face the Vikings on Monday night. The 23-year-old had his first career field goal miss last week in Cleveland followed shortly by his second career miss, which would have been a game-winner. […]
