@ San Francisco 49ers offense
Projection 3.1 pts · Medium confidence · #30 of 32 defenses
- ARI defenses average 6.0 fantasy points over 2 games (2.0 sacks and 1.5 takeaways per game); blended with the league average of 5.8 to 5.9.
- The SF offense has given up -1.0 points per game to defenses vs a league average of 5.8, so 40% of that gap is applied (x0.60).
- Opposing offense injuries (x1.03): Opposing top target Mike Evans is questionable. 1 opposing offensive lineman is out or questionable (Cruz).
- Game environment (x0.85): Vegas total 47.5, implied 19.5 points for ARI (league avg 22.5); Underdog by 8.5: likely to pass more while trailing; Wind about 12 mph: hurts passing and kicking.
- Chance of a 10+ point game: 1%. A statistical model, not injury or lineup news.
