Gambling911.com has your 49ers-Rams Daily Fantasy NFL picks and betting odds for Week 8.
St. Louis is a -9 point favorite and the total was set at a very low 40. The low total is a testament to how well the Rams defense is performing. Their only vulnerability appears to be against running backs and San Francisco does not have the weapons in place to take advantage.
What to Consider for the 49ers: The 49ers do have difficulties protecting against scoring by opposing quarterbacks and they allow plenty of fantasy points against opposing running backs as well. The reality is San Francisco is exposed in each position this season.
What to Consider for the Rams: Heading into Week 5 of this season, the Rams had not allowed more than one touchdown pass from an opposing quarterback this season. Likewise, the Rams are tough on opposing receivers. They have allowed plenty of fantasy points against opposing running backs this season.
Who to Play:
Todd Gurley ($6.3K) – Gurley is in a good spot this week against a poor defending team.
Todd Gurley rushed 19 times for 128 yards and two touchdowns and caught 4-of-5 targets for 35 yards last week against the Browns.
Gurley has now rushed for 100 yards in three-straight games and this week faces the 49ers. Nuff said.
Tavon Austin ($4.6K) – He caught 4-of-7 targets for 43 yards and rushed one time for 21 yards in the Rams' Week 7 win over the Browns.
