San Francisco 49ers D/ST A Good Play In Minnesota

one year ago

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST will be a top option when they face a decent Minnesota Vikings offense in Minneapolis in Week 7. The Vikings come into Monday night's game as the 12th-ranked offense in the NFL, averaging 332.6 yards per game. However, their offense lacks its usual firepower without superstar wideout Justin Jefferson, who is spending his second week on IR with a hamstring injury. Last week against Chicago, Minnesota only produced 220 total yards and one touchdown without Jefferson. Minnesota is exactly middle-of-the-pack in sacks allowed but has turned the ball over a league-leading 13 times. The 49ers were exposed a bit last week on the ground as the Browns put up 160 yards and a touchdown but that was without excellent run-defending linebacker Dre Greenlaw (hamstring), who is questionable this week. Either way, start the Niners D/ST as usual.
