Additional Targets for 49ers vs. Packers Showdown Game
I previously spoke about Jimmy Graham, but when taking a deeper dive, he makes an even better play than it seemed. In the week prior to Cobb and Allison being out, Graham was targeted on 11.1 percent of the snaps he played, and last week that number jumped to 16.7 percent. He's getting looks from Rogers and that won't change.
My plan is to also use Matt Breida as he's expected to play. If he doesn't play, of course, I'll keep him out. But my thought here is that he's by far the most talented running back on the 49ers roster and he should garnish low ownership due to the injury question mark. I think many people will be scared to roster him, so he's a good play for 150-max games.
There was interested in using 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, but if Breida plays he'll take a hit. Last week, he totaled six receptions on seven targets for 75 yards and has seen at least three targets over the past four games. It's unlikely I use him if Breida is good to go.
Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are both names I'm interested in, but it's hard to fully dive into using either. The Packers have a painful running back split and it's tough to gauge. Last week, Williams played 41 percent of the snaps, Jones 27 percent and Ty Montgomery was in the middle with 36 percent, per Football Outsiders.
But the week prior, it was Jones who led the way with 38 percent compared to 37 percent for Williams and 26 percent for Montgomery. If I'm choosing, it'd be Williams at $4,000 on DraftKings over the other two. His discount is nice, he gets a fair amount of passing work and he seems to be the go-to option on the goal line. I like him a fair amount in big tournaments over the other two.
And finally, let's swing for a $200 play in Richie James, another name who most are going to just ignore. His ownership, even in the massive $10 game will almost certainly be less than 3-4 percent. So why would I consider him, especially with Marquise Goodwin back? Well, he played 24 percent of the snaps last week and Taylor is now out of the lineup. There's an opportunity there for some playing time.
Realistically, James could wind up playing around 25-30 percent of the snaps and at $200 it's basically a freebie play with nothing to lose.
