49ers vs. Seahawks – NFL Player Props
- Kenneth Walker Over/Under 63.5 Rushing Yards
- Noah Fant Over/Under 2.5 Receptions
- George Kittle Over/Under 48.5 Receiving Yards
Kenneth Walker OVER 63.5 Rushing Yards (-110, FanDuel)
Walker received only 5 carries this past weekend in a loss to the Giants. In that game, Seattle lost the time of possession battle by nearly 15 minutes. Often, in situations like this, a team will attempt to overcorrect the issue in their following game. In this case, that means a heavy dose of Walker against the 49ers. Though the Seahawks are underdogs, it’s worth noting that this is a great matchup for Walker, facing a 49ers run defense that ranks 20th in EPA/play and 26th in success rate. If Seattle can keep this game competitive, Walker should have plenty of opportunities to get the job done.
Noah Fant UNDER 2.5 Receptions (-137, Bally)
Fant had 6 receptions in Week 3 against the Dolphins but has otherwise been relatively quiet this season. He has 2 receptions or fewer in 3 of his other 4 games, with the lone exception being 3 receptions on 3 targets against the Giants in Week 5. San Francisco has been solid defending opposing tight ends this season, ranking 12th in DVOA. They have LB De’Vondre Campbell and LB Fred Warner both healthy and ready to go. Warner leads all players at his position in coverage grade this season, per Pro Football Focus. This is a tough matchup for Fant, which lends some value to his under.
George Kittle OVER 48.5 Receiving Yards (-110, FanDuel)
Kittle has arguably the best matchup of any player on the field tonight for the 49ers. Through 5 games, the Seahawks’ defense ranks 23rd in DVOA against opposing tight ends. They have allowed 48 receiving yards to Theo Johnson, 53 receiving yards to Sam LaPorta, and 109 receiving yards to Hunter Henry this season. Kittle is probably the most talented of any of those players. There is legitimate spike-week potential here.
