With the score, Jennings has visited the end zone in five straight games and in seven of the 49ers' last eight contests. Jennings had a quiet night until […]

Demarcus Robinson A Risky Pivot In Week 17

Eddy Pineiro A Top Option Against Bears

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro was six-for-six on extra point tries against the Colts in Week 16 and made two of his three field goal attempts. Pineiro was good from 25 and 38 yards out. His miss came on a 64-yard try at the end of the second quarter. It was his first missed […]

Jake Tonges A Potential Pivot For Kittle Owners

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges could again be called on to fill the shoes of George Kittle (ankle), who is questionable for Week 17.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has seemingly regained his role as the team's third wide receiver after Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle). Bourne had slipped behind Demarcus Robinson on the depth chart for a few weeks, but the former has outsnapped the latter in both of the 49ers' games coming out […]

Ricky Pearsall A Risky Start In Sunday Night Matchup

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) logged three limited practices this week and has been tagged as questionable for Week 17.

Unfortunately, he suffered an ankle sprain […]

Jauan Jennings Has Favorable Matchup In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings has scored a touchdown in four straight games and has visited the end zone in six of the team's last seven contests. While the scoring binge has made him a valuable fantasy asset, he has been lacking in yardage. Jennings has hit a high of 71 yards (twice) […]

Christian McCaffrey Projected For Another RB1 Finish

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has finished outside of the top ten at his position just twice in 2025. The heart of San Francisco's offense, McCaffrey leads the team in targets per game, is averaging 125.9 scrimmage yards per game, and has scored a touchdown in all but four of the 49ers' games […]

Brock Purdy A Solid Option In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has turned in four top-12 finishes in five games since returning from a six-week absence due to turf toe.

Jauan Jennings Extends Touchdown Streak to Four Games

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings took yet another trip to the end zone in Week 16, extending his streak to a fourth game. He has at least one touchdown in six out of the 49ers' last seven games. In Monday night's 48-27 win over the Colts, Jennings caught five of his six targets […]

Another Monster Game for Christian McCaffrey in Week 16

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had another explosive performance in Week 16. McCaffrey ran for 117 yards on 21 carries and caught six of his eight targets for 29 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers' 48-27 win over the Colts on Monday night. It was one of McCaffrey's better running performances of […]

Brock Purdy Throws for Five Touchdowns in Week 16

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy came through in a big way for those relying on him for a Monday night miracle to advance to the fantasy football championship round. Purdy went 25-for-34 for 295 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in the 49ers' 48-27 win over the Colts. Two of his touchdown throws went […]

San Francisco 49ers D/ST Hard To Trust Despite Matchup

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST allowed 24 points to the Titans in Week 15 and failed to record a turnover or a sack, even though Cam Ward is tied with two others as the most-sacked quarterback in the league. The 49ers have now recorded an interception in only three games, have 16 sacks on the […]

Eddy Pineiro A Solid Option For Week 16

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro returned to action in Week 15 after missing two games due to a hamstring injury. Pineiro was money against the Titans, nailing every one of his attempts in the game. Pineiro was 3-for-3 on field goals, with makes from 33, 37, and 40 yards out, and was 4-for-4 on […]

George Kittle In TE1 Conversation For Week 16

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has finished in the top six at his position in four of his team's last five games. Volume has played a significant role in Kittle's recent success, finishing first or second on the team in targets in each of those same five games. During the stretch, Kittle has […]

Kendrick Bourne Climbing Back Up Depth Chart?

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne slipped behind Demarcus Robinson on the depth chart in recent weeks, but reclaimed the WR3 role against the Titans in Week 15. Robinson did end the game with more receiving yards, but Bourne logged a higher snap share between the two for the first time since Week 10. […]
