Jake Moody A Good Start For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody hit a 45-yard field goal and two extra points in the team's Christmas night loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The third-round pick has been two-for-two on field goals over the last two games. Both field goals were from over 40 yards, which broke a mid-season streak of six […]

George Kittle A Top-Three Option In Washington

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was heavily involved in the team's losing effort to the Baltimore Ravens last week on Christmas night. He caught seven passes for 126 yards on 10 targets. In a Week 17 matchup, Kittle will face the lowly Washington Commanders defense who have been -- surprisingly -- sixth-best at […]

Brandon Aiyuk A WR1 In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk saved his fantasy football night in the second half of last week's Christmas night loss to Baltimore. The 25-year-old went into the halftime locker room with one catch on one target for 18 yards but became a focal point of Brock Purdy's -- and then Sam Darnold's -- […]

Deebo Samuel Primed For Big Day In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) came back down to earth in Week 16's loss to Baltimore, turning 12 targets into only four receptions for 47 yards and a handful of rushing yards. In Week 17 versus the league-worst Washington Commanders defense by yardage, Samuel is unlikely to disappoint again. Washington has been […]

Christian McCaffrey Faces Washington As Overall RB1

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has spent all season as the consensus RB1 in fantasy, which certainly won't be changing in Week 17 at the Washington Commanders. On Christmas night against a quality Baltimore defense, the 49ers offense struggled to take care of the football but that didn't stop McCaffrey from going over […]

Brock Purdy With Favorable Matchup In Washington

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to put last week's four-interception performance against Baltimore behind him when the team goes to Washington to take on the Commanders in Week 17. It's of little consolation to fantasy managers who got a near goose egg from Purdy in their playoff games last week, but his […]

Ji'Ayir Brown Ruled Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers safety Ji'Ayir Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17's game against the Washington Commanders. The rookie took over the starting role after Talanoa Hufanga (knee) tore his ACL in Week 11. Brown injured his knee in the 49ers' Christmas Day contest against the Baltimore Ravens and did not practice at […]
