No. 6 Kyle Jusczyk vs. Detroit

Everything is up in the air for the 49ers rushing attack after McKinnon went down. It’s a tough call as to who’s going to make the most out of this backfield. I think Juszczyk will find the way this week against the Lions defense that looked like they didn’t want to touch any Jets backs.

*I know Juszczuk is more of a fullback*

Fullbacks deserve love too. I think carries will come his way this week and he should be a great outlet for Garoppolo out of the backfield. One catch against the Vikings for 56 yards last week. Efficient. I like it.

This is a pure PPR pick and that’s why he’s on this list. Receptions come his way. I expect a few touches as well as the 49ers try to get a running attack going.
