The San Francisco 49ers need help in the pass rush

. I think we all know that Arik Armstead Jersey , and I’m not breaking any news with that statement. And it is pretty clear Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch recognize it. They’ve talked about the importance of it and the need to upgrade the pass rush.On Wednesday, Shanahan got a question about the premium nature of the position. He does not think the emphasis on pass rush is anything new.He said the quarterback and edge rusher are the positions on each side of the ball that can transform the team because of the ability to hide issues elsewhere.Robert Saleh has been dumped on for much of this season, with most seeing him on the hot seat right now. Kyle Shanahan could decide to go in another direction, but I have a feeling Saleh gets 2019, or at least some part of it, to prove he can build something more with this defense. The team has lacked a consistent pressure option aside from DeForest Buckner. If they spend a high first round pick next spring on a Nick Bosa or Josh Allen, that is a potentially instant significant upgrade.If the 49ers add a Bosa or Allen, and/or add a big money talent in free agency, the pressure increases considerably on Saleh and Shanahan. Expectations will skyrocket for a unit that was already expected to be better than last season. My guess is if Saleh is ever fired, it will be middle of next season at the earliest.And so, the 49ers first round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft is going to be huge. Yes, they will need to find talent in the later rounds, but that first pick is so critical for this team to take a big step forward. Whether it’s Nick Bosa Frank Gore Color Rush Jersey , Josh Allen, or whomever, they need to hit a home run with the pick. 2019 is a huge year, and the team’s cap space is critical. But that first round pick is so huge, and pass rush is likely the way they’ll need to go. With all the excitement around the NFL last weekend, it was one high-scoring Saints-Buccaneers game that brought home all the money in daily fantasy contests.Tampa Bay quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 400-plus yards and four touchdowns, while adding another 36 yards and a score with his legs. Two of Fitzpatrick’s top weapons, DeSean Jackson and Mike Evans, cracked the 100-yard threshold and accounted for three of the receiving touchdowns.On the other side of the ball, the New Orleans was forced to play catch-up, leading Drew Brees to attempt 45 passes, the majority going toward Michael Thomas (16 catches, 180 yards https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Bradley-Pinion-Jersey , one TD) and Alvin Kamara (9-112-1). There was more than 1,000 yards of total offense in the Bucs’ 48-40 victory. And the $1 million Fanduel winner loaded up on the game, playing Fitzpatrick, Jackson, Thomas and Kamara.Stacking, or pairing a QB with a wide receiver or tight end, is a strategy that has been used for years by many of the best fantasy players to win daily fantasy tournaments. The Saints-Bucs game showed the power of “game stacking” — combining up to three or four players from the same game in hopes of a shootout. While it’s an aggressive approach that can leave fantasy players in last place if it doesn’t work, it will hit big when it hits.One of the best games to consider stacking this weekend is the San Francisco 49ers vs the Detroit Lions. Jimmy Garoppolo was held in check last week at Minnesota, which finished as the third toughest defense in 2017 against opposing QBs. The 49ers should bounce back this week at home versus the Lions, who are on a short week having given up 48 points to the Jets on Monday night. The 49ers have the fourth highest team total this week with Las Vegas oddsmakers projecting them to score close to 27 points.With wide receiver Marquise Goodwin day-to-day, Garoppolo can be paired with wide receiver Pierre Garcon and tight end George Kittle, who accounted for 47 percent of the team’s targets in the opening game. If Garoppolo has a tournament-winning performance (300-plus yards or three-plus touchdowns) it is likely that both Garcon and Kittle benefit. The other value of a 49ers game stack is that you can “bring it back” with an attractive stack from the opposing team. Wide Receiver Kenny Golladay is an attractive value and his $4,800 price was locked in before he exploded Monday night for 100-plus yards and 20-plus fantasy points on DraftKings. Golladay out-snapped both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones Laken Tomlinson Jersey , accounting for 93-percent of the snaps and receiving 12 targets, making him the top option as part of this game stack.For daily users who prefer multi mass enter contests, composing 20 or more lineups in a single contest, the 49ers-Lions game is perfect. While Golladay is the preferred option due to value, all three Lions receivers are projected within 3 fantasy points of each other. Both Golden Tate and Marvin Jones saw 80 percent of snaps as the Lions ran a lot of three wide receiver sets and were both targeted twice in the red zone. Users composing multiple DFS lineups can game stack Garoppolo-Garcon-Kittle with Golladay on one lineup, Tate on another, and Marvin Jones on a third, ensuring that if the game does shoot out and the 49ers win, you have a lot of the combinations covered.
