Matt Breida, Dee Ford Expected To Return In Week 14

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is optimistic that running back Matt Breida (ankle), defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and left tackle Joe Staley (finger) will all return in Week 14 against the Saints. Breida was expected to return last Sunday, but the Niners played it cautious and held him out. Raheem Mostert outshined […]

Kendrick Bourne Paces Niners Pass-Catchers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne led the Niners in receiving with 42 yards and three catches in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. In a rainy contest, the trustworthy but unspectacular Bourne made his typical impact on the margins despite being the fourth-best option in the passing game. The output marked just his […]

49ers Defense Falls In Final Seconds

The San Francisco 49ers Defense played well but allowed a walk-off field goal to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. Aided by wet conditions, the Niners held the Ravens to their lowest scoring total this season, collecting a sack and fumble in the process. Considering Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had been shredding defenders, the performance […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Makes Minimal Impact In Wet Conditions

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 15 of 21 passes for 165 yards and a touchdown in Week 13’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Garoppolo found rookie wideout Deebo Samuel for a nifty 33-yard touchdown on the opening drive, but got nothing going afterwards as the rainy elements dictated game flow. Jimmy G also […]

Deebo Samuel Makes Another Splash

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel snatched two of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie also added a 20-yard rush. Most Niners pass-catchers were rendered useless in the rainy battle but Samuel made the stat sheet with an impressive 33-yard contested touchdown catch […]

George Kittle A Non-Factor In Baltimore

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle recorded just 17 yards on two catches in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. Chalk this flop up to the wet and rainy conditions, as quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo managed just 165 pass yards on the day. Kittle’s brutal shortcoming comes in arguably the most critical weekend in fantasy […]

Emmanuel Sanders Has Another Quiet Game

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders reeled in four of six targets for 41 yards in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. Sanders led the Niners in targets and made a few nice grabs but there weren’t many aerial opportunities in the rainy contest. Since injuring his ribs in Week 10, Sanders has failed […]

Raheem Mostert Enjoys Breakout Performance

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert rushed 19 times for 146 yards and a touchdown in Week 13’s loss against the Baltimore Ravens. He also caught two passes for eight yards. Mostert dominated backfield touches and ran hard all game, rendering starter Tevin Coleman obsolete. His touchdown came on an impressive 40-yard scamper in […]

Tevin Coleman Washed Down The Storm Drain

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman managed just six yards on five carries in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. He also added a nine-yard catch. The muddy and wet conditions could’ve been deceiving but it’s apparent backup Raheem Mostert completely supplanted Coleman midway through the game. Mostert collected 146 rushing yards, dominating backfield […]

Matt Breida Out Against Ravens

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) won't play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. That leaves the bulk of the rushing carries to Tevin Coleman, with Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson getting sprinkled in. It's not a great matchup for Coleman, but he remains a must-start fantasy option as long as Breida […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target In Week 13

In Week 12, several of the wide receivers recommended in last week's column came through with solid performances. However, if you went with Julio Jones as a high-end option at wide receiver you were very disappointed as the Falcons didn't play well and Jones struggled to make it through the game after suffering a shoulder injury.

Comeback Mode: Upside Plays for Post-Thursday Lineup Deficits

On Fridays after a Thursday night game, fantasy owners tend to get anxious if they have fallen behind after one game has wrapped. That is usually an overreaction, as the results of one single game are not a true indication of where their matchup's final score will end up. But after three games have been […]

49ers Defense Faces Its Stiffest Test

In a battle of titans in Week 13, the second-ranked San Francisco 49ers Defense will square off against the Baltimore Ravens, the league’s best offense. The Niners steamrolled the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, allowing just eight points while bagging five sacks and a fumble and need to keep the momentum going against Ravens […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Must Prioritize Ball Security

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a middling QB2 in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens and isn't a recommended fantasy play. Jimmy G has played great lately with 11 touchdowns in his last four contests, but he squares off against the Ravens third-best pass defense by DVOA. Baltimore has been stifling opposing quarterbacks […]

Raheem Mostert Returns To Change-Of-Pace Duties

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert will likely return to his primary role as a special teams player in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. With Matt Breida (questionable, ankle) getting a week of limited practices, Mostert’s touches will probably diminish to just a handful of change-of-pace snaps. The fifth-year runner has been impressive […]

Dante Pettis, Dee Ford Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) and defensive lineman Dee Ford (hamstring, quadriceps) missed practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Ravens. Pettis injured his knee in practice on Wednesday. It's not a long-term concern, though, so he could be back in Week 14. The second-year wideout […]

Matt Breida Questionable To Face Ravens

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 13 against the Ravens. Breida could be a game-time decision for this one. If he's active, he'll split touches with Tevin Coleman, making him more of an RB2/3 against a tough defense, although Baltimore has been […]

George Kittle, Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel Good To Go

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (shoulder) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) were all taken off the final injury report for Week 13 against the Ravens. Kittle returned last Sunday and went off for over 100 yards and a touchdown against the Packers. Despite […]
