Fantasy Player Projections

Sam Bradford

While Bradford didn't play in either game against the 49ers last year, he did throw for 250 yards and one touchdown in each game against them in 2010. Even so, Bradford isn't a good fantasy option in Week 10, with San Francisco's defense having an extra week to prepare.

Steven Jackson

Jackson has 403 rushing yards so far this season, but he has just one touchdown and he's losing carries to rookie Daryl Richardson. The 49ers have allowed just two rushing touchdowns this year, so neither running back is a good fantasy option.

Daryl Richardson

Richardson has 335 rushing yards this season, but he still hasn't scored a rushing or receiving touchdown. While he should be a nice fantasy option later this season, he shouldn't start against a tough defense in Week 10.

Danny Amendola

Despite missing three games with a shoulder injury, Amendola still leads the Rams with 32 receptions and 395 receiving yards. He plans to return to play in Week 10, but the 49ers have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. Consider him a WR3 with a chance to score in Week 10.

Chris Givens

Givens has at least one catch for 50 yards or more in his past five games, which broke the NFL rookie record. He had two touchdown catches in his past four games before the Week 9 bye, but the 49ers have a smothering defense that should limit his chances in Week 10.

Brandon Gibson

Gibson had eight catches for 106 yards over his past two games before the Week 9 bye. The combination of Danny Amendola's return and the 49ers' defense makes Gibson someone to forget about in Week 10.

Lance Kendricks

Kendricks is on pace to catch 40 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns this season. That's not going to get it done.

Greg Zuerlein

Zuerlein has been a decent fantasy kicker in a few games this season, but he's just not getting enough consistent scoring opportunities to make him an every-week starter. The 49ers will make it tough for the Rams to get into scoring position in Week 10.

The Rams allowed the 49ers to score an average of 30 points in two games last season. This defense hasn't forced a turnover in three weeks and has allowed 75 points in its past two games. Look elsewhere for fantasy help in Week 10.

Alex Smith

Over his previous three games before the Week 9 bye, Alex Smith threw for an average of 191 yards with four total passing touchdowns. He only threw for three touchdowns in two games against the Rams last year, so consider another fantasy quarterback in Week 10.

Frank Gore

Gore is on pace to rush for 1,312 yards and eight touchdowns, and he's averaging 5.5 yards per attempt on the ground. He remains a good fantasy option against a Rams team that allows one rushing touchdown per game.

Kendall Hunter

Over the past four games before the bye, Hunter was averaging about nine carries for 45 yards. Right now, he's little more than a handcuff for Frank Gore owners.

Michael Crabtree

Crabtree is on pace for 78 receptions for 880 yards and six touchdowns, which would be the best season of his four-year career. He caught two touchdowns against the Cardinals in Week 9, and he looks to be a decent WR2/3 in Week 10.

Mario Manningham

Manningham has been dealing with a shoulder injury recently, which has limited his production. He should be healthier coming off a bye week, but the Rams' pass defense isn't horrible. There are better options this week, even off the wire.

Randy Moss

Moss caught a 47-yard touchdown against the Cardinals in Week 9, but it was his only target of the game. He just doesn't see enough opportunities to warrant starting him in fantasy play.

Vernon Davis

After three consecutive bad performances, Davis should be ready to reward fantasy owners once again in Week 10. The Rams are one of the worst defenses against opposing tight ends, allowing an average of 8.5 points per game.

David Akers

After a great start to the season (nine field goals in the first four games), Akers has had just five field goals in his past four games. Even so, the Niners should see plenty of scoring opportunities against the Rams in Week 10.

The 49ers don't force a lot of turnovers (just six interceptions this season), but they do rack up sacks (six in the past two games) and they keep teams out of the end zone. Keep this defensive unit active in all formats in Week 10.
