George Kittle Tough To Bring Down
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has 435 receiving yards in five games this season, and nearly half of those yards (215) have come on gains made after the catch. Fifty nine of that yards-after-the-catch total have come with Kittle exceeding expectations. He registers yards-after-the-catch success on 68.8 percent of his catches, putting him […]

49ers Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 8
The 49ers Defense has been fantastic lately, allowing a total of 22 points over the past two weeks. Unfortunately, in Week 8, they will face a Seattle Seahawks offense that has been the class of the NFL so far this year. The Seahawks lead the league in both yards per game (425.2) and points per […]
Kendrick Bourne Not Worth Starting In Week 8

George Kittle Should Dominate Seahawks In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is in position to have a monster game in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks rank dead last in the league in passing yards allowed per game with 368.7. In a game that is likely to be high-scoring, Kittle should have a number of opportunities to […]
Tevin Coleman Not Worth Starting If Active In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (knee) has a chance to make his return for the team in Week 8 against the Seattle Seahawks. He has been out since suffering a knee sprain in Week 2. With both Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson Jr. (ankle) out for the game, the team is certainly […]
Jerick McKinnon Is A Risky Flex Option In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon had an extremely disappointing showing in Week 7. He only earned three carries in a game where he was assumed to be the team's primary rusher. Head coach Kyle Shanahan later said that the team had been planning to rest him due to his heavy workload to start […]
JaMycal Hasty Is A Flex Option In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers rookie running back JaMycal Hasty is averaging 5.2 yards per carry over 20 carries on the year and is coming off a solid game where he gained 57 yards on just nine carries. The 49ers will go into their Week 8 game against the Seattle Seahawks extremely shorthanded at running back. Hasty […]
Jimmy Garoppolo Is A Strong QB2 Play In Week 8
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has an extremely favorable matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. The Seahawks have allowed 368.7 passing yards and 28.7 points per game this year. With the 49ers hurting at running back, Garoppolo's arm will be leaned on more than usual in Week 8.

Tevin Coleman, Jordan Reed Return To Practice
The San Francisco 49ers opened their 21-day practice window for running back Tevin Coleman (knee) and tight end Jordan Reed (knee) on Wednesday. Both players are still on the team's Injured Reserve, so they're not listed on the official injury report leading up to Week 8 against the Seahawks. If they make it through the […]
Deebo Samuel A Short-Area Weapon For San Francisco
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is averaging just 2.3 air yards per target this year. In comparison, tight end George Kittle averages over six air yards per target, while rookie wideout Brandon Aiyuk is averaging over 11 air yards per target as the team's preferred downfield weapon. Samuel makes his money by catching […]

Week 7 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!
In Week 6 scoring was a little down and Deshaun Watson led the way with 32 fantasy points.

Week 7 was a […]
