The 49ers haven't forced a turnover in the last six games. They play the Bears in Week 16.

Analysis: Although the Bears are turnover prone with 11 in the last five games, the 49ers look hopeless to take the ball away. Their only chance at fantasy relevance would be keeping the Bears off the board, but even that seems unrealistic given that Chicago has surpassed 23 points in 10 of the last 11 games. The 49ers aren't well-equipped to stymie that trend since they've allowed over 100 rushing yards in four straight contests while the Bears rank second in the league with 119.7 rushing yards per…read more

The 49ers rank 12th in the league by allowing 107.8 rushing yards per game. They play the Seahawks in Week 15.

Analysis: The Seahawks run the ball more than any team in the league, so the 49ers look well-equipped to handle their strongest attack. However, QB Russell Wilson can heave the ball to a variety of targets like he did when he racked up four touchdowns just two weeks back. The Seahawks don't provide much on the turnover front with just one in the last three weeks, but the 49ers haven't been capable of consistent takeaways at any point this season. Hanging your fantasy season on the 49ers D/ST would be a…read more

The 49ers haven't forced a turnover in four weeks. They play the Broncos in Week 14.

Analysis: The Broncos don't provide much hope for the Niners to shift their turnover woes, as they've only coughed it up once in the last three weeks. The 49ers have allowed at least 27 points in each of the last three weeks, and the Seahawks torched them for 168 yards on the ground in Week 13. Expect rookie RB Philip Lindsay to be ready for this outing and continue to expose defenses with his shifty speed. Although the Broncos still aren't a high-powered offense, they're smart with the ball and leave…read more

The 49ers have allowed 24 or more points in nine of 11 games this year. They play the Seahawks in Week 13.

Analysis: The 49ers are in the cellar of fantasy defenses with a league-low five turnovers while allowing the sixth-most points per game (26.6). The Seahawks enter the matchup on a roll with at least 27 points in six of their last seven games and haven't coughed up the ball more than once in a game during that span. QB Russell Wilson has a career 10-2 record against the 49ers and is on pace this year for 36 touchdown passes, so he's set up well to exploit the weaknesses that are so common in the 49ers'…read more

The 49ers have forced a league-low five turnovers this season. They play the Buccaneers in Week 12.

Analysis: The Buccaneers have turned the ball over a league-high 29 times, and now they have switched from QB Ryan Fitzpatrick back to QB Jameis Winston yet again. Both offer plenty of upside to opposing defenses. Winston has turned the ball over 12 times in five games and two of those outings weren't even starts. Nevertheless, the Bucs are one of the highest-powered offenses, averaging a league-high 458.5 yards per game and 26.7 points (eighth in the league). That makes it tough to measure the Bucs'…read more
