Atlanta Falcons (4-10) @ San Francisco 49ers (10-4)
The Falcons disappointing season continues at Candle Stick Park in SF. QB Matt Ryan has had to make something out of nothing all year. Devastating injuries have decimated his receiving corps and even took out his starting RB Steven Jackson. Jackson is Atlanta's leading rusher and he doesn't even have 500 yards. One bright spot heading into next season is if wide out Harry Douglas was called upon when Julio Jones went out with a season ending injury. Douglas has stepped up with over 70 catches and is nearing 1,000 yards for the first time in his career. Tony Gonzalez leads the team with six TDs and is always a must start in Fantasy leagues. This week the Falcons have their work cut out for them from a Fantasy aspect and from a game aspect. The Niners have a top tier defense and have been playing like the Super Bowl contenders they are. SF defense has held opposing QBs to an average QB rating of 73.3. That's brutal for opposing QBs. QB Colin Kaepenick has not played with the confidence of a Super Bowl QB for much of the season but he is starting to show some of his old self as of late. RB Frank Gore is still churning out TDs in the Niners offense. He has one more than he totaled last season, and is nearing the 1,000 yard mark on the season. Vernon Davis is second in the league among TEs with 12 TDs. Anquan Boldin and Michael Crabtree are together in the passing game and it might take time for them to develop chemistry but when it all comes together, and it will, watch out. Both WRs will benefit from the others presence on the field. This duo will create Fantasy gold for years to come. Any 49ers player should be in your lineup this week. They will produce. Atlanta is almost at the end of a sad season and they have one foot out the door. This game means nothing to them while the Niners need to win to stay ahead of the Cardinals who will be out of contention if they lose to the Seahawks in Seattle. The Niners are hot at just the right time of the year and they will stay hot.
My Final: SF 31 ATL 23
