49ers Defense Week 3 Outlook For Fantasy Football
2 years agoThe front seven of the San Francisco 49ers defense is "dynamic," Denver Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett said, ahead of the Niners' Week 3 Sunday Night Football showdown in Denver. "They're very simple, but they're very effective. … I think they continually show that and they make you have to be perfect on every single play," Hackett said. From a fantasy perspective, they are also very effective, ranking sixth, according to Fantasy Pros. The Broncos offense is one of the more efficient ones the 49ers will face. They rank No. 7 in yards per play and fifth in EPA per pass play. But they haven't ended up scoring many points because they always stall out in the red zone due to a mix of poor execution and terrible game management. Denver gets sacked and turns the ball over at rates within the range of the league average. The 49ers DST is a start this weekend.
