San Francisco 49ers quarterback Sam Darnold could start on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals due to Brock Purdy (concussion) being in concussion protocol.

Brock Purdy, the final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, established himself as the San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback last season and has done a solid job leading the Niners offense this season.

Brock Purdy In The Concussion Protocol

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) has entered into the NFL's concussion protocol.

We're close to the halfway point of the 2023 NFL season, meaning our deep league waiver wire options are as thin as ever. This will be the shortest column of the season, and the pickings are extra slim ahead of Week 8. That's just the name of the game in deep formats. The top waiver […]

Week 7 did a little bit of damage, but luckily not too bad. Fantasy managers had a scare with Jaylen Waddle, but for the most part, the receiver position came out (mostly) unscathed.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings hasn't been on the fantasy football radar often since being selected in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

NFL DFS: Week 8 Matchups First Look - Totals, Salaries, Slates and More

Does anyone else wish we could pretend like Week 7 didn't exist? I am not too proud to admit that I whiffed in a big way on that slate. A few obvious things happened (Mahomes and Kelce dominating) but a lot of weird and stupid stuff did as well. Some chalk busted (remind me to […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 8 (2023)

This week, I am recommending more than a dozen fantasy IDP players to add from the waiver wire. Amongst the top adds are Za'Darius Smith, Camryn Bynum, Kenny Moore, and Julian Blackmon. The Colts have produced multiple productive defensive backs this week. Unfortunately, JuJu Brents left his Week 7 game with a quad injury, so […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 8) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

Brandon Aiyuk Catches Five Passes In Loss

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk hauled in five of six targets for 57 yards in the team's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday night.

Christian McCaffrey Breaks NFL Record Monday Night

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey set the NFL record for the most consecutive games with a touchdown, including playoffs, at 16 in the team's 22-17 loss to the Vikings in Minnesota on Monday.
