These are the best fantasy options for the game between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks.

The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks both will battle in a huge division game on Sunday. Both teams have the same record and a win in the division over the other could go a long way. The 49ers have been very competitive through two weeks, while the Seahawks have been disappointing to say the least.

The Seahawks have one touchdown through two games, which has made them an abysmal team for fantasy owners. The 49ers have been pretty productive on offense, therefore they have been a good fantasy option. With this Sunday’s game likely to be low-scoring game, there are some fantasy options to be considered in this one.

5. Jimmy Graham

When a team like the Seahawks has one touchdown in two weeks, it’s like pulling straws for a fantasy option. It’s not a good time to start Russell Wilson right now, especially since there team is still figuring things out on offense. Therefore it’s good to go with someone that can have success against San Francisco and in the red zone. That man is Jimmy Graham and the Seahawks will look to get him going this week.

4. Vance McDonald

While the 49ers have been more competitive through two games than anyone expected, Blaine Gabbert hasn’t been perfect. However, he does have a target he likes in Vance McDonald. If they’re going to score points on the road, the 49ers need to find their big target.

3. Carlos Hyde

The 49ers are likely going to try and copy the strategy that everyone else has against the Seahawks and that’s run the ball. If they can keep the ball away from the secondary and pound the ball on the ground, then San Francisco will have a chance. Expect Carlos Hyde to get a healthy amount of carries.

2. 49ers Defense

In this type of game, it’s going to be the defense with the best chance at scoring points. The Seattle Seahawks are miserable on offense and the 49ers have players to get after Wilson. Eric Reid has been a stud at safety and he has a prior history of picking off Wilson.

1. Seahawks Defense

The Seahawks’ defense is likely to bring it on Sunday afternoon. While their offense is struggling, this unit is still great and they’re going to look to put up points of their own. Expect them to pick off Gabbert a couple of times.
