49ers D/ST Wracked by Injuries
The San Francisco 49ers' defense has been plagued by injuries all season. Edge rusher Nick Bosa (knee) tore his ACL in Week 3. Fred Warner suffered a dislocated and fractured ankle in Week 6. In Week 9, four defensive linemen have been declared out or questionable, thinning the team's depth up front. Linebacker Dee Winters (knee) is also questionable, as is defensive back Deommodore Lewis (quadriceps), whose interception in Week 8 was the team's first since Week 11 of 2024. San Francisco's D/ST has been able to limit scoring here and there, but its inability to force turnovers (0.8 per game) and sacks (1.1 per game) curtails the unit's fantasy value. It will be a risky start in Week 9 against a New York Giants offense that has averaged 28.3 points per game over the last three weeks.
