team points
  • SF ranks 18 of 32 against WRs (a middle-of-the-road matchup, 0-game sample).
  • Vegas implies 25.8 team points as 3.0-point favorites.
  • Listed WR-2 on the latest depth chart with a 71% snap share in 2025.

The call

  • A 24% target share across 14 games is alpha-level volume — the WR-2 depth slot is a formation label, not a usage cap.
  • 13.8 projected points at WR21 with no injury designation is a floor most 12-team PPR benches can't match.
  • Team implied total of 25.8 as a 3-point favorite means enough scoring volume to support multiple touchdown-equity looks.
  • The DvP composite (18 of 32) is drawn from a 0-game sample with 0.00 confidence, so treat the matchup as neutral rather than a reason to bench.

Verdicts based on PPR scoring.
