Jerick McKinnon Drops Out Of RB2/Flex Contention Sunday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon went from being a potential RB2/Flex option for Sunday’s game versus Miami to a likely bench commodity due to the likelihood of Raheem Mostert (knee) returning. McKinnon excelled in Mostert’s absence, having reeled off three consecutive games with a rushing touchdown. His production during that stretch will likely […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 5

The chart below is a snapshot of each team's cornerback group as it relates to allowing fantasy points. There are inherent flaws within the data compilation of cornerback play.

After successfully predicting eight out of the top ten defenses last week, we may be starting to hit our groove. Some of them felt a bit like gimmes, but the Jets in the top-10 was the subject of criticism and watching the Bills round into form a bit was also nice. The only two outliers […]

Raheem Mostert, Deebo Samuel On Track To Suit Up Sunday

The San Francisco 49ers will likely have two key offensive cogs in running back Raheem Mostert (knee) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (illness) at their disposal Sunday versus Miami.

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 5

Last week's wide receiver matchup article featured five receivers that finished inside the top-20, including Odell Beckham Jr. who finished as the highest scoring wide receiver in Week 4.

49ers Defense A Solid Starting Option In Week 5

The 49ers Defense is in a great position going into Week 5 as they face the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are averaging 23.3 points per game this year, the ninth-fewest in the league.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne leads all 49ers wide receivers in receptions (13), targets (22) and receiving yards (197) this year.

Deebo Samuel Is A WR3 Option In Week 5

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel made his 2020 debut last week against the Philadelphia Eagles. Samuel suffered a broken foot over the summer and began the season on Injured Reserve.
