NCAA Prospects To Watch For Dynasty Leagues: Bowl Week Three

I hope everybody enjoyed the holidays. We're a day away from ending this decade and bringing in a new year. The NFL playoffs are set, the majority of the teams have turned their attention to the NFL Draft, and the bowl games are heating up. It's quite an exciting time of year. After two previous […]

Kwon Alexander Could Return If 49ers Advance

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that linebacker Kwon Alexander (pectoral) could return if the team advances to the NFC Championship. That would require the 49ers to win just one more game, as they have a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs. The 25-year-old has played in just eight games […]

49ers Hopeful Of Getting Dee Ford Back In Playoffs

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the team is hopeful and optimistic that defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) will be able to return in the Divisional Round. Ford has missed the last three games, so he'd be a nice boost to one of the NFL's best defenses. […]

49ers Defense Saves Game On Final Play

The San Francisco 49ers yielded 21 points and bagged a sack in a clutch Week 17 victory against the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners pressured Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson all evening and mostly stuffed the offense but nearly relinquished the game. Tasked with a first-and-goal in the closing seconds, the Niners posted four stops, including a […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Answers The Bell In Clutch Win

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18 of 22 passes for 285 scoreless yards in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Garoppolo played a great game but was held out of the end zone as his team scored three rushing touchdowns. In the biggest game of his career, Jimmy G answered the bell and […]

Emmanuel Sanders Not A Factor In Niners Victory

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders collected 25 yards on three catches in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Sanders was involved early with a few looks but took a backseat to George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and the run game as the game progressed. Coming off an Achilles tear in 2018, Sanders rebounded with […]

George Kittle Catches Everything

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught all seven of his targets for 86 yards in Week 17’s clutch victory against the Seattle Seahawks. He added a seven-yard carry. With the Niners collecting their three scores via the ground, Kittle was held out of the end zone but continued his typical performance as the […]

Deebo Samuel Is A Yardage Monster

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel secured five of five targets for 102 yards while adding two rushes for 33 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. The electric rookie once again showed his versatility, scoring on a 30-yard run in the second quarter by shaking multiple Seahawks defenders down […]

Raheem Mostert Collects Two More Spikes

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert handled 10 carries for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. He also cradled a 16-yard reception. Mostert continued playing as the workhorse and best running back in the Niners committee, converting two red zone rushes of two and 13 yards in the […]

Tevin Coleman And Matt Breida Play Sparingly

San Francisco 49ers running backs Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida combined for just 10 touches in Week 17’s thriller against the Seattle Seahawks. Both backs continued playing sparingly behind workhorse Raheem Mostert, with Coleman totaling 17 yards on five totes and a catch while Breida managed 16 yards on four carries. Both runners finish the […]

It’s fine, RotoBallers. You can admit you did it. Some of us already have. In fact, I’m doing it now (and loving it). I’m of course referring to looking at the Sunday Night Showdown on DraftKings to see where Marshawn Lynch is priced. As soon as he signed with the Seahawks to finish out their […]

Jimmy Garoppolo And Niners Playing For NFC Crown

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leads his team on the road in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks with plenty on the line. Playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Jimmy G will start in arguably the biggest game of his career. The sixth-year signal caller has enjoyed a solid season, with […]

George Kittle Within Arm's Length Of Century Mark

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will seek to cap off another brilliant season in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite missing two games midseason, Kittle is just 33 yards shy of breaching 1,000 yards for the second straight season. The All-Pro is also peaking at the right time, clearing 65 yards in […]

Emmanuel Sanders Enduring Boom-Or-Bust Season

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is an upside WR4 in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 32-year old veteran has been solid since joining the Niners in mid-October, scoring four times and playing nearly every snap, but he’s also posted a few clunkers with four contests under 30 yards. Sanders will draw […]

Deebo Samuel Starting To Factor Into Rushing Attack

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be a solid WR3 in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. While he’s emerged as a trustworthy target in the passing attack, Samuel has also demonstrated his versatility with seven rushes for 89 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. Facing a vulnerable Seahawks Defense […]

Tevin Coleman Barely Scratches Fantasy Relevance

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman remains a risky flex in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Coleman has mustered barely over four touches per game since Week 13 and has not factored into the passing game (one catch). Coleman managed 72 scrimmage yards in Week 10 against the Seahawks and draws a favorable […]

Matt Breida Hoping To Re-Emerge

Despite being healthy, San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida did not play a single snap in Week 16. He’ll look to resurface in Week 17 against a shaky Seattle Seahawks rush defense. Head coach Kyle Shanahan cited game flow and insisted Breida was not benched nor injured, but his volatile playing time makes him […]

Raheem Mostert Remains The Man

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert has not relinquished control of the backfield since taking over in Week 13 and will be a steady RB2 in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Mostert out-touched other Niners backs by a 11-8 margin last Saturday and will draw a soft Seahawks rush defense ranked 26th by […]

Instead, both Winston and Watson struggled in what amounted to an exciting, but disappointing game. Daniel […]
