San Francisco 49ers DFS Spin
Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18-of-30 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers’ 37-15, Week 5 win over the Panthers. The 253 yards mark a new single-game best for Garoppolo since he took back over under center in Week 2. His touchdowns were short red-zone hookups to backup RB Tevin Coleman and then Deebo Samuel from four yards out after Garoppolo had a rushing score wiped out on a penalty. Garoppolo is a better real-life quarterback than fantasy one and won’t be a recommended play next week against the Falcons.
Atlanta Falcons DFS Spin
theScore.com’s Jordan Schultz reports TE Kyle Pitts (questionable, hamstring) is expected to play in Week 6 against the 49ers. Pitts is officially a game-time decision. The Falcons will take his status to Sunday but Pitts is on track to return after sitting out Week 5. Playing at less than 100 percent, Pitts should be faded for a shy away matchup with a 49ers secondary that’s allowed 23 yards per game to tight ends this year.
