Breece Hall MORE Than 0.5 Rush+Rec TDs (DEMON) and MORE Than 27.5 Receiving Yards
The Niners have a great defense, but the ball’s gotta go somewhere. Expecting the coverage to be tight downfield, we should expect Breece Hall to get a lot of checkdowns from Aaron Rodgers, who’s always very conscious of his completion percentage. There will just be a lot of opportunity for Hall to get into space and compile receiving yards. RotoGrinders has Hall projected for 30.2 receiving yards.
As for attacking the TD projection, it’s tough to see any Jet getting into the endzone, but they do have a 20-point implied total, so someone is getting in, and Hall has the best chance to do so, as it’s easiest to get him the ball. TD plays are always tight, but RotoGrinders has Hall projected for 0.8 rushing+receiving TDs, so the DEMON boost is juicy.
- PLAY: Hall MORE Than 0.5 Rush+Rec TDs (DEMON) and MORE Than 27.5 Receiving Yards
Christian McCaffrey MORE Than 20.5 Fantasy Points
We can respect the Jets defense without being crazy about what they can do to Christian McCaffrey. 20.5 is a really low projection for someone who RotoGrinders has projected for 1.1 TDs in a full-point per reception format. RotoGrinders has McCaffrey (conservatively) projected for 17 rush attempts and 6.3 targets. Anything under a point-per-oppurtunity for McCaffrey in any matchup is appealing to us. RotoGrinders has McCaffrey projected for 23.8 fpts – 16.1% more than his PrizePicks projection.
- PLAY: Barkley MORE Than 29.5 Receiving Yards (DEMON) and MORE Than 2.5 Receptions
Aaron Rodgers LESS Than 15.0 Fantasy Points
RotoGrinders has Aaron Rodgers projected for 15.6 fpts, and I don’t like it. There’s virtually no ceiling for the near-41-year-old QB who hasn’t played a full NFL game in over 18 months, returning to play against one of the best defenses in the league. Add the 49ers’ excellent ability to control the time of possession to their efficacy and Rodgers doesn’t have much room to grow. Personally, I see this game being a disaster for Rodgers.
