Each week, we’ll focus on one game and use a top-down strategy to break it down. This means starting with the bigger picture —how teams, players or trends are performing — and then finding the best ways to apply that information to different betting markets.
With Warner playing at such a ridiculous clip, this 49ers defense should continue to be one of the stingiest in the league, setting up a potential run toward a fourth straight NFC Championship game appearance.
The defensive line is the heart of any successful defense, tasked with both disrupting the opposing quarterback with a pass rush and shutting down rushing attacks at the line of scrimmage. This season, we will monitor NFL defensive line play all season long, ranking the league's unit from No. 1 to No. 32.
Up to five players may run a route on any given play, but only one will receive the target. By examining key data points and characteristics of that play, we can predict the probability of each player being targeted.
The Browns are expected to have David Njoku and Jedrick Wills Jr. back Sunday against Washington, which received some good injury news of its own with a source telling ESPN that Brian Robinson Jr. is "good to go" for the game.
Trade talks involving Davante Adams are expected to intensify next week as the Raiders star's hamstring heals and as more teams weigh what they are willing to offer for the Pro Bowl wide receiver, sources told ESPN.
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, likely elevating veteran Joe Flacco to the starting role.
Rams receiver Cooper Kupp, who will miss his third straight game Sunday with a high ankle sprain, is being targeted for an Oct. 20 return, sources told ESPN.
Niners tight end George Kittle and linebacker Fred Warner, both listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, are expected to play, a source told ESPN.
Christian McCaffrey will not be activated for Thursday night's game against the Seahawks, sources told ESPN, even though the 49ers star is eligible to return.
The Vikings promoted safety Bobby McCain and running back Myles Gaskin from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Jets.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen revealed that tight end Taysom Hill is dealing with rib fractures this week and fielded questions about whether Hill might go on injured reserve, so it would have been surprising if Hill was cleared to play against the Chiefs on Monday night.
