They are a game back of the Baltimore Ravens for the second wild card bert

The Denver Broncos are on a roll of late Jimmie Ward Jersey , winning three straight over the Chargers, Steelers and Bengals to improve to 6-6. h and trailing several teams in tiebreakers, but they’re playing some solid football of late.There have been two keys to their turnaround. Their offense has been strong on the ground, and their defense has done a great job forcing takeaways. The Broncos defense has forced 21 turnovers this season, but nine of them have come in the last three weeks. The Broncos defense has given up large yardage totals this season, but when they force turnovers, it doesn’t matter. They lost Chris Harris Jr. to a broken leg, so that will be something to watch, but that defense is ferocious.Of course, our San Francisco 49ers are not so good when it comes to forcing turnovers. The 49ers defense has forced five turnovers this season, and they are well ahead of pace to set the NFL record for fewest turnovers forced in a season. The record is 11 Dwight Clark Color Rush Jersey , last matched by the Chicago Bears in 2016, who went 3-13 that season. The other teams in the Hall of Shame include the 1982 Indianapolis Colts (0-8-1 in a strike-shortened season), the 2013 Houston Texans (2-14), and the 2015 Dallas Cowboys (4-12).There are some similarities in those teams’ final records. The 49ers are 2-10 and 2-14 is a very real possibility. This has come in spite of a team that has faired well in the popular net yards per play stat. Net yards per play looks at offensive and defensive yards per play, and is a popular stat among the gambling community. The 49ers net yards per play is 0.1, which is tied with four other teams for 13th. Coincidentally enough, the Broncos also have 0.1.The 49ers defense has struggled with takeaways, and their offense has not been much better with giveaways. The 49ers have committed 25 turnovers, which is tied with the Buffalo Bills for second worst, behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This has resulted in the 49ers ranking dead last with a -20 turnover differential.If the 49ers are able to add a top-notch pass rusher this offseason, I suspect we see an improvement in the turnover differential. Furthermore https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Aaron-Burbridge-Jersey , it is a stat that often reverts toward the mean. You need talented players, but there is a certain amount of luck in turnovers.We’ve talked about turnover differential in the broader sense, but it will be of particular note this weekend against the Broncos. I don’t expect the 49ers defense to force many (if any) turnovers, and so it’s on the offense to at least keep the differential even. Nick Mullens got off to a strong start, but has regressed to a certain degree. He put together big numbers vs. Seattle, but as he said on Wednesday, they need to be getting into the end zone. If they can maintain control of the ball on offense, an upset could be in the offing. Week 2 was another high scoring slate in the NFL and another week when daily fantasy sports contests were won by rostering the passing attack from just a handful of games.Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 300-plus yards and six touchdowns in a 42-27 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, including two scores to tight end Travis Kelce. Behind early and forced to play catch-up, Ben Roethlisberger aired it out 60 times, leading to a 450-yard performance to go along with three passing and one rushing touchdown. Wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster and TE Jesse James both cracked the 100-yard threshold and found the end zone.In total there were more than 180 fantasy points scored in the Chiefs-Steelers game. Meanwhile at Lambeau Field Kyle Juszczyk Jersey , Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins connected with WRs Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen for 90 combined fantasy points.Game stacks have been pivotal to winning daily tournaments this year. The Bucs-Saints shootout in Week 1 and the Chiefs-Steelers shootout for Week 2 both led to millions in prizes.Here are game stacks to target for Week 3:New Orleans at Atlanta (Over-under: 53, Falcons favored by 3 points)The Falcons-Saints game has the second-highest Vegas total this week. Matt Ryan and the Falcons host Drew Brees and company in a game that could make a perfect game stack opportunity with the duo of Ryan and Julio Jones plus New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara. Jones has been targeted 28 times to start the season for nearly 500 air yards, a metric that balances target volume with the depth of those targets. Jones has a 40 percent market share of the Falcons passing attack. On the flip side, Alvin Kamara gets to face a Falcons defense that funnels targets to opposing running backs and gave up 14 catches for 100-plus yards to Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey last weekend. Kamara has 18 targets through the first two weeks and is in a prime spot to make a fantasy splash if the game in Atlanta turns into a shootout. Fantasy owners who are building multiple lineups could also consider mixing in Saints WR Michael Thomas and Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu to their stacks.San Francisco at Kansas City (Over-under: 56, Chiefs favored by 6 1/2 points)While a lot of the attention will be on Patrick Mahomes this week because of his 10 TDs through two games, winning daily fantasy tournaments requires separation from the crowd.Jimmy Garoppolo is in a bounce-back spot against a Chiefs defense that has allowed more than 1,000 yards per game of total offense and given up more than 400 yards passing in back-to-back games. While the Chiefs defense should benefit from a home game at Arrowhead, Garoppolo is still in great position to throw for 300 yards and multiple touchdowns and will look to connect with his favorite target as Marquise Goodwin hopefully returns to the 49ers lineup. Garoppolo-Goodwin stacks can also be mixed with 49ers tight end George Kittle — who could be lower owned after disappointing players as a popular pick last week. He will return value for fantasy owners if he can even replicate half of Jesse James’ stat line from last week. Chiefs players Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce and Sammy Watkins are all candidates to “bring it back” and should be inserted into your lineups to make a full-on game stack.
