Brandon Aiyuk Poised For Production In Championship Game

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be a popular DFS play this Sunday when the team hosts the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, and for good reason.

Deebo Samuel A Top Option In Divisional Round

San Francisco 49ers D/ST Not Recommended In Week 18

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST unit will face the Los Angeles Rams at home on Sunday. Both teams are already locked into their respective playoff positions, so the Week 18 matchup is meaningless.
