49ers D/ST Faces Former QB In Minnesota
2 months agoThe San Francisco 49ers D/ST unit is in Minnesota to take on the Vikings in Week 2. In Week 1, the 49ers defensive performance looked sharp in real football terms, but only produced modestly for fantasy purposes. They gave up 19 points to the New York Jets offense and totaled one sack and one interception. The third touchdown came in garbage time, making San Francisco's defensive performance appear worse and knocking points off their fantasy total in standard formats. Minnesota's offense was productive in Week 1 against the Giants, as they come into this week's contest with the 13th-most yards in the league. But they had two turnovers in that one -- a Sam Darnold interception and a C.J. Ham fumble. The Niners are a solid choice for lineups, due to a solid pass rush and some ball-hawk skills in the secondary but they mostly suffered last year from a lack of D/ST touchdowns, which will always be the fickle mistresses of the fantasy football world. The 49ers defense will look to confuse a familiar Sam Darnold into some bad decisions when they check in as a Top-5 option on Sunday.
