Most of these players have already been discussed above. Check out each individual position to hear why they make the cut. Only Robert Woods, Larry Fitzgerald and David Njoku were left off those list. Woods is the stack to Goff. Even though he is only $100 cheaper than Brandin Cooks, I see Woods as the beneficiary if Cooper Kupp can’t go. Woods is the more complete receiver and could fill that role as Goff’s safety blanket without Kupp in the lineup.
Njoku is a frequent name in this article. His target share is that of a receiver since Baker Mayfield took over. Njoku found the end zone last week. Now he gets a Steelers defense that is weak in the middle of the field. On the road Mayfield will look Njoku’s way often. Finally the ageless Larry Fitzgerald makes the cut. Assuming Josh Rosen plays, Fitzgerald can do damage against a 49ers defense that is strong up front but weak in the back end. He is still the team’s best red zone option and should find the end zone in the right opportunity.
Check back Sunday for a final updated version with a new and improved lineup as information trickles in.
