49ers Defense Has Tough Matchup
2 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers defensive unit has a tough matchup in Week 13 against the No. 3-ranked Miami Dolphins offense. The Fins are No. 2 in passing yards, No. 5 in EPA per play and No. 6 in scoring offense. They have gained over 400 yards in four games. Those were all against defenses that are significantly worse than the Niners, however. San Francisco is the No. 1 defense at limiting total yards per game. The New York Jets (No. 5) are the best defense Miami has played so far, and they limited the Fins to 295 yards. The Jets finished as the No. 8 fantasy defense that week, so San Francisco could certainly finish as a top-12 defensive unit if they play as well as they are capable of.
