Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 4
By Nick Villano
Bold Prediction 4: Expect a huge game from San Francisco offense
The San Francisco 49ers have a lot of questions surrounding the offense. Jimmy Garoppolo might still be the starting quarterback, but he failed to put away the Green Bay Packers, and Aaron Rodgers put together a vintage Rodgers drive to win it. The running back room still looks more like a infirmary than anything. Brandon Aiyuk isn’t even worth a roster spot on fantasy leagues right now. George Kittle is still great, but he hasn’t scored a touchdown yet this season.
This is the week the offense takes a step in the right direction. Trey Sermon looked a little better last week, and the running game is key to making this team move. Kittle will have a field day against his opponent this week. Deebo Samuel looks like he’s ready to be a star if he can only stay healthy.
By the way, the 49ers opponent this week is the Seattle Seahawks. Their biggest rival is giving up more yards per game than any other team in the NFL this season. Teams are putting up 440 yards per game against them. This will lead to a huge day from the likes of Garoppolo, Samuel, Sermon, and Kittle. Aiyuk is still a question mark, but if you’re holding out hope, this is the week he has to prove it. Elijah Mitchell is a player to watch as he works back from a shoulder injury.
