Here’s what I care and don’t care about coming out of the 49er 30 to 24 win over the Dallas Cowboys.
What we care about is that the 49ers bag is deep.
No team has better embodied the next man up mentality than the San Francisco 49er this season, they continue to deal with injuries on Sunday night football yet.
George Kittle was the main man.
Uh he’s the lone superstar left which you would imagine the Dallas Cowboys probably should have had a better plan for how to contain him, but he dusted them all night long.
Kittle is the first or second best tight end in fantasy this year.
That’s been the case all year long.
It continues to be the case, but I was impressed with guys like Ricky Pierson and Isaac Garn, the rookies.
This just goes to show you that.
Yeah, you have superstar players keep chopping wood, keep taking young players and develop them because you never know when injuries are gonna strike and they have viable guys there in San Francisco to step up in the event of these injuries while Pierceall might not be a fantasy starter just yet.
He’s showing the goods on the field, catching all four of his targets and a key 39 yard run late in the game.
Here’s what we don’t care about.
We don’t care about the Dallas Cowboys big name players.
All right, because it’s not enough like they, they just do not have good players on the offensive side of the ball, period.
They certainly don’t have enough of them.
CD.
Lamb escapes this game with a massive fantasy performance too.
Touchdowns on what looked like defensive mistakes to me for the San Francisco 49ers.
Other than that, who are you afraid of when you’re defending the Dallas Cowboys for you people out there setting your fantasy lineups?
Who the hell are else are you even considering at this point outside of Jake Ferguson, who’s, who’s a good tight end, these running backs?
It, it ain’t 2017 anymore, Jalen Tolbert, nice player, but you’re probably not playing him, uh, unless you’re in a deep league, we knew this coming into the year, the 49er, uh, aside, like put whatever was going on with them aside for a second, the Cowboys do not have enough good players that showed itself on Sunday.
It’s been showing itself all year long and that’s just the reality of where this team is right now.
