- San Francisco has scored a touchdown on 28.7% of their red zone plays, the highest rate in the league.

Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo: Garoppolo is playing his best football for fantasy, finishing in the top half of weekly scoring in five of his past six games with three QB1 scoring weeks over that stretch. Garoppolo still hasn’t thrown more than two touchdown passes in a game yet to keep his ceiling in check, but he has thrown at least a pair of scores in four of his past five games.
Garoppolo gets another strong draw here as a high-end QB2 against an Atlanta defense that is last in the NFL in pressure rate (17.0%) and sacks (16) while allowing 17.4 passing points per game (31st).
