49ers | Busy game for Tatum Bethune Sun Nov 2, 04:51 PM
San Francisco 49ers LB Tatum Bethune recorded eight solo tackles and 16 total tackles during the Week 9 game against the New York Giants.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers DE Mykel Williams (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 9 game, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team fears that it is a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: The first round pick had the look of an impact player for a 49ers defense that has already lost their two best defensive players for the season. San Francisco's defense was good against Jaxson Dart in Week 9, but they'll face a red hot Matthew Stafford in Week 10, and without their best young defensive lineman. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Skyy Moore caught one pass for 21 yards against New York Giants in Week 9, while WR Jordan Watkins caught one pass for 19 yards during the game. Both were targeted on time during the game.
Link to storySan Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle caught four passes for 32 yards against the New York Giants in Week 9. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Kittle has done more for the 49ers offense with his blocking, helping revive the running game, then he has done in the conservative passing game now that the 49ers have morphed into a ball control offense. He's still a TE1 heading into a matchup with the Rams, but the spike games may be rare in the second half of the season. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Brian Robinson Jr. rushed for 53 yards and one touchdown on five carries against the New York Giants in Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Robinson looked as good as he has all season on his touchdown run. With the 49ers running game clicking now that George Kittle is back, Robinson is moving up the backup running back rankings and should be rostered if bench size allows. |
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey rushed for 106 yards and one touchdown on 28 carries against the New York Giants in Week 9. He also caught five passes for 67 yards and one touchdown during the game.
| Footballguys view: For the second time in three games, McCaffrey was the picture of a ball control running back, grinding down the opposing defense with unstoppable effort, posting a massive fantasy output along the way. There's a good case for McCaffrey as the most valuable player in fantasy football right now heading into a rematch with the Rams. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones went 19-for-24 for 235 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Giants in Week 9. He also rushed for four yards on four carries during the game but did lose a fumble.
| Footballguys view: Jones was highly efficient and kept the offense moving as the 49ers went with a successful ball control game plan for the second time in three games. He was still a viable streamer/QB2/Superflex and should be considered an upside play as a streamer or QB2/Superflex next week against the Rams if Brock Purdy is still not ready to go. |

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones will start Week 9's game versus the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: According to 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy could be available in Week 9 if need be. That means Purdy might be back next week. For the meantime, Jones gets another start as the 49ers look to bounce back after losing to the Texans in Week 8. Jones is a QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs out there. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) will not start Week 9's game versus the New York Giants but still has a chance to be available, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Purdy could be available if the team needs him in Week 9. That means he's close to a return, but we'd be a bit ahead of ourselves to say Purdy will be ready to start in Week 10. Mac Jones is starting against the Giants. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) is not considered a long shot to play in Week 9, but the team will see how he feels Wednesday, Oct. 29, and if he can take part in practice, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Purdy has been sidelined by a toe injury, but took part in practice on a limited basis every day last week before being ruled out. Shanahan said he'll have a better idea about the quarterback's outlook when the team is back at work in a couple of days. "I don't think it's a long shot, but I know he is doing better and we'll see how he's doing Wednesday," Shanahan said. Mac Jones has been starting in Purdy's place, and Shanahan called him day-to-day with a bruised knee. Stay tuned. |
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) will not have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.

While GM John Lynch suggested Aiyuk could practice this week, Shanahan updated us Monday. "I think it's week-to-week from here on out that he has got a chance," Shanahan said. "Just not this week." We'll continue to monitor. |
