San Francisco @ Houston
Team Totals: Texans 21.5, 49ers 20
4-1 as San Francisco’s starter, Mac Jones is positioned for a step-back game visiting Houston’s elite defense, which has yielded the NFL’s second-lowest completion rate (57.8%), third-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.4), and a league-low 68.3 passer rating. No team is allowing fewer raw points per game than the Texans (14.7). I expect this to be one of the lowest-scoring games of Week 8. … San Francisco’s previously scuffling ground game received a massive jolt in George Kittle’s Week 7 return from I.R.; Christian McCaffrey delivered season highs in rushing yards (128), yards per carry (5.4), rushing touchdowns (2), yards before contact on rushing attempts (81), and yards after contact on rush attempts (48) against Atlanta while continuing to pad his already prolific receiving stats with 7/72/0 through the air. CMC remains the most opponent-proof running back in fantasy football.
