Rebound Game For Brock Purdy Not A Guarantee
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) got the win last Monday against the Panthers but delivered a dud to fantasy football managers. Purdy struggled outside of the short game, delivering just eight passes beyond 10 yards with a result of completion and three interceptions. Purdy insisted in postgame comments that his bout of turf […]

He also had 16 rushing yards on six carries. Purdy struggled to connect with his receivers on intermediate and deep routes, completing just one of his eight attempts of 10 […]

49ers D/ST has Potential Against Carolina
The San Francisco 49ers D/ST stepped back into the fantasy football spotlight in Week 11. Their success was fueled by their two interceptions and one fumble recovery in the team's 41-22 win over the Cardinals. Unfortunately, the injury bug bit again, this time striking linebacker Tatum Bethune (ankle), who sprained an ankle during the game […]

George Kittle Has a Plus Matchup In Week 12
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle finished Week 11 with six catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. His production made him the second-highest scoring tight end in fantasy football for the second week in a row. Even with wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) returning to the lineup, Kittle remained a […]

Demarcus Robinson Buried On Depth Chart
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson saw little change in his utilisation in the wake of Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Robinson's snap share has hovered around 25% for most of the season, and that trend continued in the 49ers' 41-22 win over the Cardinals when Robinson checked in for 26% of […]

Kendrick Bourne Unlikely To Contribute In Week 12
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne took a big step back in the team's 41-22 dismantling of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. With Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall (knee) both on the field for the first time since Week 4, Bourne's snap share went from 68% in Week 10 to 25% in Week […]

Jauan Jennings Has Top-24 Potential Against Carolina
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings held onto his role at the top of the depth chart despite Ricky Pearsall's (knee) return in Week 11. Jennings, Christian McCaffrey, and George Kittle led the team in targets with six apiece, though Brock Purdy's (toe) three touchdown throws went to the latter two, leaving Jennings with […]

Ricky Pearsall Seeking Better Performance In Second Game Back
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's (knee) returned to action in Week 11 after a six-week absence due to a knee injury sustained in Week 4. Unfortunately, the second-year wideout had just one catch for no gain on two targets in the 49ers' 41-22 trouncing of the Cardinals. On the positive side, Pearsall's knee […]

Brian Robinson Jr. May Have Flex Potential In Soft Matchup
San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s recent surge in production hit a snag in Week 11, but he could bounce back against a Carolina Panthers defense that has struggled against the run lately. In Weeks 9 and 10, Robinson scored touchdowns and posted his two highest rushing yard totals of 2025. He fell […]

Christian McCaffrey Primed for Another RB1 Finish Against Panthers
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was the overall RB1 in Week 11, his third such finish in the last five weeks and his 10th top-10 finish in 2025. McCaffrey is in a good spot to attempt a repeat against the Carolina Panthers on Monday night. Much of McCaffrey's production in 2025 has come […]

Brock Purdy Has QB1 Potential Against Carolina
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) put forth a solid effort in his return to action in Week 11 after missing the previous six games. In what was just his third start of the season, Purdy threw for just 200 yards but did so with a tidy 73.1% completion percentage and completed three touchdown […]

Hello again, RotoBallers, and welcome to the Week 12 edition of Warning Signals. Like any fantasy football manager, I’m in the habit of monitoring recent trends and the latest news to determine how players might be affected in the week ahead.

49ers D/ST a Risky Streaming Option in Week 11
The San Francisco 49ers' D/ST unit has been a disappointment in fantasy in 2025, in no small part due to its inability to force turnovers or get to opposing quarterbacks. They may get some help in that regard in Week 11 when they meet with the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has given up six turnovers in […]

Eddy Pineiro Ready For Rematch With Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro went 2-for-3 on extra point tries and had no field goal attempts in the team's 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. The miss was Pineiro's second of the season, the other also a failed extra point conversion. Pineiro remains perfect on field goal attempts in […]

George Kittle "Looking Forward" to Starting QB's Return
Earlier this week, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle told members of the media that he is "looking forward" to playing with Brock Purdy (toe) once again in Week 11, highlighting the quarterback's energy and leadership on the field. Purdy, who has thrown Kittle 21 of his 48 regular-season touchdowns, has not played with […]

Kendrick Bourne's Prospects Dim Further In Week 11
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne's role in the team's passing attack has diminished after George Kittle returned from injured reserve in Week 7 and as Jauan Jennings' health improved in recent weeks. Bourne made a splash with back-to-back 142-yard games in Weeks 5 and 6, but has just eight catches on nine targets […]

Ricky Pearsall Returning For Rematch With Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. When San Francisco last faced Arizona, in Week 3, Pearsall had his most productive game of the season, catching eight of 11 targets for 117 receiving […]

Jauan Jennings Will Have More Competition for Targets in Week 11
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings had his most productive game since Week 2 in last week's loss to the Rams. Jennings had a season-high six catches for 71 yards and a touchdown against Los Angeles. The score was his second in as many weeks. Jennings' recent spike in productivity has been a welcome […]

Brian Robinson Jr. To Continue Recent Production In Week 11?
San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has turned the corner recently, posting consecutive RB2 finishes in the 49ers' last two games. Robinson's utilization in Week 10 and Week 11 was in line with past games, but with better results. Against the Giants and then the Rams, Robinson had his two highest rushing totals […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Promising Matchup In Week 11
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had his second-lowest rushing total of the season in Week 10, gaining just 30 yards on the ground on 12 carries against the Rams. McCaffrey hasn't been as productive in the run game as he has been in years past, averaging 62.6 rushing yards per game in 2025. […]

Brock Purdy Off Injury Report, Starting In Week 11
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11.

Luke Farrell Scores Rare Touchdown In Loss
San Francisco 49ers tight end Luke Farrell had two receptions for 15 yards and a touchdown on two targets in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 12 carries for 30 rushing yards and caught eight of his 10 targets for 66 receiving yards in Week 10.

Banged-Up 49ers D/ST Not Worth Trying Against Rams
The San Francisco 49ers' D/ST unit has been an ineffective option for most of 2025, and Week 10 will likely be more of the same. The Niners have allowed more than 21 points in five of their last six games, have just one interception this season, and have the lowest quarterback pressure rate (25.5%) and […]
Dan Stephens
Eddy Pineiro Ready For Another Big Game Against Rams
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro had another productive outing in Week 9 against the New York Giants. Pineiro was good on all four of his extra point tries and hit field goals from 54 and 33 yards out in the 49ers' 34-24 win. Not one known for an overpowering leg, Pineiro is now 6-for-6 […]

George Kittle Still Has TE1 Potential Despite Recent Utilization
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has not lived up to expectations so far in 2025, producing a 12-100-2 stat line over four games played. On the positive side, the hamstring injury that sent Kittle to injured reserve for five weeks does not appear to be holding him back. Since returning in Week 7, […]
