Indianapolis @ San Francisco
Team Totals: 49ers 26, Colts 20.5
44-year-old Philip Rivers’ football IQ was on full display in keeping the Colts within a field goal of Seattle before ultimately losing to a last-second kick. His withered arm could not follow suit, sailing ducks to open receivers for 4.4 yards per attempt (32nd). You’re never starting Rivers in Superflex leagues, but San Francisco’s 22% pressure rate (31st) should allow him to produce a usable floor on one-game slates. … Unless they devote all of their resources to limiting Jonathan Taylor, the Niners just don’t have the horses to stall him sans stud EDGEs Nick Bosa (torn ACL), Mykel Williams (knee), and All-World LB Fred Warner (ankle): No team has allowed a higher Success Rate (50.8%) on the ground since the team lost Warner in Week 7. 30 carries are in JT’s range of outcomes.
