Eric Saubert Likely To Draw Start, Not Recommended For Lineups

San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Saubert is expected to step in for George Kittle when the team is in Los Angeles to face the Rams in Week 3.

Jauan Jennings A Deep-League Option In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings will step into a starting role in Los Angeles as the team faces the Rams in Week 3.

Brandon Aiyuk Back To WR1 Billing Versus Rams

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in Los Angeles to face the Rams in the team's first divisional matchup of 2024 on Sunday.

Jordan Mason Looks To Continue Ascent In Week 3

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason has momentum coming into a Week 3 matchup versus the Rams in Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon.

Brock Purdy To Face Rams With Depleted Arsenal

In Week 3, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy takes the team's 1-1 record into their first divisional game of 2024 in Los Angeles against the Rams in their home opener.

In a bit […]

Jordan Mason Goes For 100 Yards, Scores In Minnesota

Brandon Aiyuk Back To WR2 Status In Minnesota

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will run up against the Vikings when the team visits Minnesota in Week 2.

Jordan Mason To Reprise Starting Role In Week 2

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason will draw another start when the team clashes with the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.

Mason […]

Brock Purdy Looks For Touchdown No. 1 In Minnesota

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will try to pick up a second-straight win in a Week 2 matchup versus the Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday.

George Kittle With Pedestrian Output In Opener

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle provided fantasy managers with modest production in the team's 32-19 home-opening victory against the New York Jets.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody will open his sophomore season with a Monday night home game versus the New York Jets.

Jordan Mason Ready To Go If Christian McCaffrey Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason has an outside chance to draw a start when the team opens the 2024 season at home against the New York Jets on Monday night.
