Game Info
Kickoff: Sunday, October 19, 2025, 8:20 PM ET
Location: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA
Network: NBC
Atlanta Falcons
Quarterback
Michael Penix Jr.: SIT
Michael Penix led the Falcons to an upset win over the Bills on Monday Night Football, but he has just five total touchdowns and isn’t a viable fantasy start in any format against the 49ers.
Running Back
Bijan Robinson: START, THE RB1
Tyler Allgeier: FLEX, RB3
You don’t need me to tell you to start Bijan Robinson, but did you know he shares a birthplace (Tucson, AZ) with Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Kerri Strug, famous for her heroic vault on an injured ankle?
Wide Receiver
Drake London: START, WR1
Darnell Mooney: SIT
You don’t need me to tell you to start Drake London, but did you know he is from the same area (Ventura County) as Danielle Fishel, who famously played Topanga on the iconic 90s show Boy Meets World?
Tight End
Kyle Pitts Sr.: START, TE1
Kyle Pitts has just two games over 10 points, but he’s averaging over five targets a game and has had at least four catches in every game before facing Buffalo. That’s enough to keep him a borderline TE1.
Defense/Special Teams
Atlanta Falcons: SIT
The Falcons defense isn’t in consideration for fantasy.
San Francisco 49ers
Quarterback
Mac JonesSIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
Brock Purdy: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
Facing a Falcons defense that just shut down Josh Allen and is giving up the fifth fewest fantasy points to the position, no matter who starts for the 49ers in Week 7, they’re Superflex starts.
Running Back
Christian McCaffrey: START, RB1
Brian Robinson Jr.: SIT
You don’t need me to tell you to start Christian McCaffrey, but did you know he is from the same town (Highlands Ranch, CO) as Felicity and The Americans star Keri Russell?
Wide Receiver
Kendrick Bourne: START, WR3
Ricky Pearsall
Jauan Jennings: FLEX, WR4
Ricky Perasall still isn’t practicing and is likely out another week. But despite reportedly playing through five broken ribs, two sprained ankles, and a partridge in a pear tree, Jauan Jennings is expected to be active but is just a FLEX in a difficult matchup and banged up. Kendrick Bourne is the best start for the Niners, seeing 20 targets over the past two games and checks in as a WR3 despite facing the Falcons.
Tight End
George Kittle: START, TE1
Jake Tonges: SIT
George Kittle has a chance to return this week. If he’s back, he’s starting for your fantasy team. With or without Kittle, Jake Tonges isn’t.
Defense/Special Teams
San Francisco 49ers: SIT
The 49ers defense isn’t in consideration for fantasy.
