NFL Showdown - San Francisco 49ers vs Arizona Cardinals

If you haven't gone back to the main slate article, I recommend it. This week highlights the importants of this contrarian approach that I take. Maybe it only works out once or twice a year, but that hit may pay for your season when sticking to it.

Salary vs Odds

Not gonna lie, we are seeing tons of SF value and odds of success. They will be the chalkiest and even the constructions will likely end up in many ties as a result. That is, UNLESS we hit on a dart play at low ownership. Will Kyle get a goal line carry for a td? thats the kinda thing I will ask myself as I set my long shot lineups tonight. I am certainly leaving money on the table by the lb if I take the SF stack that everyone else takes.

Snap Counts

Even with darts, I prefer to get to folks who play like 20 snaps or more, unless we know someone is filling in for an injury in a skill position. I am pretty certain neither QB is very good. But they will chug the ball up and some will land in the hands of others. QB sneak is quite popular as well so I wont rule out a QB entirely. Nor will I rule out kickers and defenses which are not shown here.

Leverage and Projections

As of this writing, Christian Mccafrey and Deebo appear to belong in the flex spot. Jimmy G and Aiyuk are Captain landing spots unfortunately. Maybe even Kittle captain. Lets see how the defense lines up:

Defense vs Receivers

And just like that, Kittle is my Captain tonight. Who is the WR3 for Arizona? That is the same spot where Mecole Hardman attacked the 49ers a few weeks ago to the tune of 3 TDs. Otherwise the 49ers are just average against WRs so will need to see if the ball makes it to them in Mexico.

Edit: leverage is shifting a lil closer to Jimmy G as the best capt play.

More to come later!
