George Kittle

SF Tight End #85

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

George Kittle caught 6-of-7 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 8 win over the Cowboys.

Kittle did his heavy lifting through the first three quarters, scoring from two yards out in a third quarter dominated by the 49ers after the team failed to find the end zone in the first half. He would not be targeted the rest of the way with the 49ers nursing a lead eventually threatened by the Cowboys during a feverish comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, ultimately escaping with a win to send them into their bye at 4-4 in the most crowded division in football. All four teams in the NFC West are separated by just 0.5 games as we enter the back stretch.
Isaac Guerendo

SF Running Back #31

Isaac Guerendo rushed 14 times for 85 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 8 win over the Cowboys, adding 17 yards on three receptions.

Jordan Mason departed the game with just over two minutes remaining in the first half, paving the way for the electric rookie running back to amass more than 100 yards from scrimmage and find the end zone for the first time in his young career. That now marks two consecutive games that Mason was unable to finish, each time departing with a shoulder injury. Even so, the 49ers head to their bye week in Week 9 and could get either, or both of, Mason and Christian McCaffrey back following the break.
Brock Purdy

SF Quarterback #13

Brock Purdy completed 18-of-26 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown in the 49ers’ 30-24, Week 8 victory over the Cowboys, adding 56 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Seven of Purdy’s eight carries came on scrambles as he consistently kept drives alive with his legs, a much needed offensive spark considering both Jordan Mason and Deebo Samuel failed to finish the game with injuries. Purdy’s lone touchdown pass went to tight end George Kittle in a third quarter dominated by the 49ers. After entering the break down 10-6, San Francisco rattled off three consecutive touchdowns in the third quarter to take a commanding 27-10 lead into the final frame, ultimately enough to hold off a ferocious comeback attempt from the Cowboys. The 49ers improve to 4-4 and find themselves tied with the Cardinals atop the surprisingly tight NFC West, a division with all four teams within 0.5 games of each other. San Francisco heads to their bye week in Week 9 before traveling to Tampa to face the Buccaneers.
Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Jake Ferguson caught 6-of-8 targets for 23 yards in the Cowboys’ Week 8 loss to the 49ers.

Ferguson largely served as an outlet for quarterback Dak Prescott in the face of relentless pressure from the aggressive San Francisco defensive front. While the eight targets look nice on paper, Ferguson finished well behind alpha wide receiver CeeDee Lamb in targets and production, a situation that is likely to carry forward as the Cowboys enter desperation mode now sitting at a 3-4 record.
CeeDee Lamb

DAL Wide Receiver #88

CeeDee Lamb caught 13-of-17 targets for 146 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys’ Week 8 loss to the 49ers.

Lamb racked up nine receptions through three quarters but was confined to short area work, erupting for 90 additional yards and both touchdowns on four receptions in the fourth quarter alone. Garbage time production has become all too familiar for the Cowboys as they fall to 3-4, but fantasy managers are fine with any production whenever it comes for the newly re-signed veteran pass-catcher. The yardage marked Lamb’s first game of the season over the century mark while the multiple-score game also was the first time this season he has scored more than once. Up next for Lamb and the Cowboys is a Falcons team that attempts to force opponents to short area throws, meaning Lamb will likely require another huge volume game to return to fantasy stardom.
Ezekiel Elliott

DAL Running Back #15

Ezekiel Elliott rushed 10 times for 34 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys’ Week 8 loss to the 49ers, adding four yards on his lone reception.

Zeke got the spot start with lead back Rico Dowdle held out with an illness, accounting for 11 of the 18 backfield opportunities split with recent acquisition Dalvin Cook. Even with the increase in role, Zeke rushed to only 3.4 yards per carry and owns a career-low 3.1 yards per carry mark on the season. Any fantasy value remaining has quickly gone with the wind on the veteran back.
Dak Prescott

DAL Quarterback #4

Dak Prescott completed 25-of-38 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Cowboys’ 30-24, Week 8 loss to the 49ers.

The Cowboys took a 10-6 lead into the break after a rather uninspiring first half before being outscored 21-0 in the third quarter. Facing a 17-point deficit in the final frame, Prescott led two touchdown drives in the final eight minutes to bring the team within six points. The Cowboys forced a three-and-out with just over two minutes remaining to play but turned the ball over on downs without gaining an additional yard, allowing the 49ers to ice the game on the ground with rookie running back Isaac Guerendo. The loss drops the Cowboys to 3-4 before traveling to Atlanta to face the Falcons in Week 9.
Deebo Samuel Sr.

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (ribs) is questionable to return to Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Samuel departed midway through the fourth quarter with a ribs injury and is questionable to return. He came into the weekend listed as questionable after spending two days in the hospital with pneumonia, ultimately suiting up against the Cowboys. He managed to catch 4-of-7 targets for 71 yards and added 15 yards on four carries prior to departing.
J.K. Dobbins

LAC Running Back #27

J.K. Dobbins had 17 rushes for 57 yards and a touchdown in the Chargers’ Week 8 win against the Saints, adding four catches for 11 yards.

While Dobbins ran well ahead of RB Kimani Vidal, he had another deeply inefficient game, averaging 3.3 yards per carry and doing precious little with his seven targets. Dobbins’ rushing success rate has plummeted over the past month, and the Chargers’ move toward a pass-first offense has somewhat limited Dobbins’ workload as the team’s lead back. Involvement in the pass game has been a boon for Dobbins though. He’ll be a top-20 fantasy play in Week 9 against the Browns.
Jordan Mason

SF Running Back #24

49ers RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) is questionable to return in Week 8 against the Cowboys.

Mason briefly left the game early in the second quarter but returned on the following drive. He then walked with trainers to the locker room with just over two minutes remaining before the half. The team deemed him questionable to return with a shoulder injury. Mason managed just 18 yards on six carries and was not targeted prior to departing.
