San Francisco D/ST Returns To Top Three

San Francisco D/ST Returns To Top Three

12 months ago

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST unit will tangle with Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. In the three weeks leading up to San Francisco's Week 9 bye, they allowed two of their three highest point totals of the season, causing their D/ST to nearly drop out of the top 10 in fantasy projections and causing head coach Kyle Shanahan to quip that they looked slow and tired on the game film. Last week in Jacksonville though, they showed just how good they can be. New addition edge rusher Chase Young and company terrorized Trevor Lawrence with five sacks and picked him off twice. Fully healthy and facing the eighth-least productive offense by yardage places the 49ers D/ST firmly in the must-start category this week.
