Robbie Gould A Poor Streaming Choice In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould faces the Carolina Panthers, the team allowing the sixth-most points to kickers, in Week 5.

George Kittle Needs More Targets

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has not been the dynamic TE1 many expected him to be in his first two games back from injury. He has caught six passes for 52 yards. The problem has not been that he is not running routes. He is running routes on 86.7% of the Niners' passing […]
