Week 9 DFS GPP Stacks For FanDuel And DraftKings

Hey there RotoBallers! Week 8 saw the dramatic return of Drew Brees following his early-season thumb surgery. The Saints just kept rolling, posting 31 points on the leaky Arizona defense. The Eagles and Lions also each hung 31 points on their opponents while the Tevin Coleman-led 49ers went crazy on Carolina with 51 points. The […]

49ers Defense Humbled On Halloween

The San Francisco 49ers Defense surrendered 25 points in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals but escaped with a narrow 28-25 victory. The second-ranked defense by DVOA allowed new Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake to amass 162 scrimmage yards and atypically permitted several big plays, including an 88-yard catch-and-run by rookie wideout Andy Isabella in […]

Fantasy Football IDP Rankings for Week 9 (Top 100)

Three of the top offenses in the league are taking a break this week, which could result in some lower-scoring games. New quarterbacks in Denver and Washington could lead to promising defensive performances from their opponents. As always, those who play in IDP leagues should balance safety at the linebacker position with some risk at […]

Deebo Samuel Blows Easy Scoring Chance

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel cradled four of seven targets for 40 yards in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Samuel made several clutch plays including a handful of grabs down the stretch, but he’ll probably dwell on one major missed opportunity. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo found Samuel wide open in the end zone […]

Dante Pettis Capitalizes On Only Target

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis cashed in on his only target with a 21-yard touchdown grab against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Pettis snatched a dime from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the third quarter for his second touchdown this season. Pettis continues playing decent snaps but is barely a factor in the […]

Kendrick Bourne Cashes Lottery Ticket

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne netted his only target for a seven-yard touchdown in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Typically a rotational receiver, Bourne earned a handful of extra snaps on Thursday with Marquise Goodwin a healthy scratch and cashed with his first score of the season. Bourne is up to 11 […]

Tevin Coleman Crashes Back To Earth

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman gained just 23 yards on 12 carries in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals, contributing another 13 yards on two catches. He had a touchdown negated by penalty. Coleman's mediocre performance was a major buzzkill after his four-score explosion last Sunday as he was out-touched by backfield mate […]

Emmanuel Sanders Loving Life In Red And Gold

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders roped seven of nine targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. In his second game with the team, Sanders continued demonstrating solid rapport with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, gaining several chunk plays early in the contest. He was rewarded with a one-yard […]

George Kittle Hurts Knee, Still Lays The Smackdown

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) caught six of eight targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle took a helmet to the knee on the team’s opening drive but resurfaced to rumble for a spectacular 30-yard touchdown to end the first quarter. He made several […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Lights It Up

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo carved up the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, passing for 317 yards and four touchdowns in a victory. After game managing all season, Garoppolo surpassed 300 yards for the first time against a predictably awful Cards defense, posting a season-best passer rating of 136.9. Jimmy G kept the chains […]

Matt Breida Shows No Ill-Effects From Sprained Ankle

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida rushed for 78 yards on 15 carries and caught two balls for 14 yards in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Showing no ill effects from a bum ankle suffered last Sunday, Breida led the team in touches and outpaced backfield mate Tevin Coleman in scrimmage yards by […]

Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Active Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are active for Thursday’s Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (inactive) is a healthy scratch. Despite the reinjury risk, Breida is a playable RB3 against one of the worst defenses in football. Mostert is a garbage time-dependent flex […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Play Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan believes that running back Raheem Mostert (knee) will be able to play on Thursday night against the Cardinals. With Matt Breida (ankle) also expected to suit up behind Tevin Coleman, that won't leave much work for Mostert, even with San Fran sporting the NFL's No. 2-ranked running game […]

Matt Breida Will Play Against Cardinals

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle), who is questionable against the Cardinals, will play on Thursday night, according to a source. Breida felt good this morning and is good to go. He could see his snaps reduced in favor of Jeffery Wilson if Raheem Mostert is inactive, making him more of a risky […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Derek Carr, DeVante Parker, Ryan Tannehill

The NFL trade deadline was a yawn. Let’s hope the rest of your fantasy football season isn’t. Fantasy footballers have to contend with another four-team bye week that takes all of the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons out of play. But even with a slightly smaller player pool to […]

Wide Receiver Snap Counts and Target Trends - Week 8 Analysis

Wide receivers are essential components toward your ultimate goal of securing league championships.

Second-Half Surgers - Upcoming Favorable Schedules

The general gist of this entire article is that matchups matter and there are several teams that have faced either a gauntlet of defenses through the first half of the season and will see a much lighter second half or have dealt with touchdown variance that will regress. Sometimes players/teams get unlucky and that is […]

Buys and Sells - The King's Trade Targets for Week 9

Many fantasy football trades get rejected or talks break off because the team making offers does not think things through. The owner sending the offer usually thinks about only what they want and need and how little they may be able to part with. Such offers usually consist of one owner simply deciding on the […]

Jeffery Wilson On Call As Flex Option

San Francisco 49ers running back Jeffery Wilson could be poised for more work in Week 9’s Thursday night game against the Arizona Cardinals. Both Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are game-time decisions, potentially making the fourth-string Wilson the only healthy back behind Tevin Coleman. Wilson sparked fantasy buzz in Weeks 2-3 operating as […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 10/31/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

This is a fascinating NFC West matchup, because San Francisco has a dominant defense that should impose some limits on Arizona’s production and the Cardinals Defense is suspect enough that it could open the door for more 49ers production. San Francisco wins week-in and week-out and they are doing a lot of it on the […]

Thursday Night Football Matchups Analysis - Week 9

The Minnesota Vikings are becoming a true contender. Even though the Vikings air raid looked strong with quarterback Kirk Cousins throwing for 285 passing yards and wideout Stefon Diggs eclipsing the 100 receiving yard mark in a 19-9 win over the Washington Redskins, running back Dalvin Cook stole the show with 171 total yards and […]

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 9

Welcome to Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season. We kick this week off with a fun game in the University of Phoenix between the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals. The 49ers are huge away favorites, sitting at -10 with a 43 total. The biggest news is both David Johnson and Chase Edmonds likely […]

49ers Defense To Haunt Cardinals On Halloween

The San Francisco 49ers Defense should keep rolling in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. After routing the Carolina Panthers 51-13 last Sunday, the Niners draw the inexperienced and banged up Cardinals led by rookie Kyler Murray. The 49ers have transformed into a matchup-proof defense in 2019, ranking second in DVOA and boasting the league’s […]

Deebo Samuel Could Get More Rushing Opportunities

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel draws a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 and is an upside WR5. The second-round rookie has endured a frustrating season, breaching five-plus targets just twice. Samuel scored his second touchdown last week, taking a 20-yard carry to the house. Despite just eight rush yards […]

Tevin Coleman Should Keep On Rolling

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman earns an RB1 tag in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Since returning from injury in Week 5, Coleman’s been a monster, compiling 337 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 71 touches, including a four-game explosion in Week 8. Coleman draws a sweet Halloween matchup against a bottom-four […]

Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert Questionable In Week 9

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) both practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and are both listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Cardinals. They'll be game-time decisions in this tasty matchup, but they could both lose touches to Tevin Coleman and Jeffery Wilson if they're active. […]

George Kittle Primed For Breakout Game

While San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been doing yeoman’s work for most of the year, he could be rewarded handsomely in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Despite leading the team in all relevant receiving metrics, ranking second amongst NFL tight ends in target share (25.8 percent) and on pace for over […]

Warning Signs: Le'Veon Bell, Courtland Sutton, George Kittle

What have we learned this season in fantasy football? Well. Quite a bit. With the Browns, we have learned that elite parts do not make a great machine. When it comes to the 49ers, we have learned the only way to use a run game to bleed games is when you have the defense to […]
