- Aiyuk is hoping to get some extended rest and be ready for next week, but if he misses the next game, fantasy managers will simply need to avoid any other 49ers wide receiver besides Samuel.
Miscellaneous notes
- The 49ers said they wanted to sign him. Elijah Mitchell then get more involved Christian McCaffrey He played 100 percent of the offensive snaps last week and did just that. Mitchell played more offensive snaps in the first half than he had in the past two games combined. He continued to play important snaps in the second half and helped close out the game.
- Jarin Hyatt He caught two passes for 89 yards last week, leading the Giants in receiving yards in that game. That didn’t lead to an expanded role for him in this game, and his goal wasn’t in sight.
- Daniel Bellinger plays an important role in this game, sometimes instead of darren waller, specifically so that he can stay in to pass block against the 49ers pass rush. Bellinger had more pass blocks in this game than tight end passes blocked in any Giants game over the past two seasons.
- deebo samuel He stayed on the field for an extended period of time after making the catch in the fourth quarter, but returned to the lineup on a late drive and scored a touchdown. Hopefully he’s okay long-term, but he could be an injury worth monitoring.
- The Giants’ longest offensive play of the night was one with only 10 players on the field.
- Kittle’s 90 receiving yards are the most by a tight end in a game this season.
table notes
• Snaps include plays called back due to penalties, such as holding on offense or pass interference on defense. Three of his other stats remove these plays.
• Targets may differ from official NFL sources. The most likely discrepancy is due to an obvious throwaway pass, where the NFL may give targets to the closest receiver, but this data does not.
• Carries are made only on designed plays. Quarterback scrambles do not count towards the total number of carries in the game.
