Green Bay Packers
Randall Cobb/James Jones/ Ty Montgomery/Davante Adams (Wide Receivers):
Randall Cobb absolutely dominated the Chiefs on Monday night football hauling in 3 touchdowns. The Chiefs did fight back which should make this game different. The 49ers don't have the offensive firepower to threaten the Packers. Cobb is Aaron Rodgers go to target and biggest threat on the field. Cobb is the WR1 to start this week against a soft 49ers defense. James Jones has been targeted a ton in the red zone reprising his role as Green Bay's ultimate wide receiver vulture.
Jones should continue to score touchdowns and retain the chemistry he has with Rodgers. This week could be a down one for him because Rodgers might not need to throw to him or to have him score a touchdown for that matter. This game could get out of hand pretty quickly. Adams was the guy slated to take over Jordy Nelsons spot but after sporting a walking boot on Thursday Ty Montgomery will be taken Adams place in 3 wide receiver sets. If Adams cannot play in week 4 Ty Montgomery will replace him.
Richard Rodgers (Tight End): Rodgers is behind all of the wide receivers for targets but with Andrew Quarless looking down the barrel of a 4 to 6 week injury, this means Rodgers will take a large percentage of the offensive snaps at tight end making him a fantasy possibility.
Eddie Lacy/James Starks (Running Back): Lacy is fully healed from a low ankle sprain that kept him limited against the Chiefs. Now Lacy returns to RB1 duties where he could become the primary offensive weapon if the 49ers cannot stop him. Lacy is a strong RB1 this week. Starks is a non factor now that Lacy is 100 percent.
Aaron Rodgers (Quarterback): Rodgers is looking the best he has ever looked throwing the ball and this is without Jordy Nelson. Rodgers should continue his stellar numbers however he may not keep his foot on the gas pedal as the Packers could turn this into a blowout really fast.
San Francisco 49ers
Colin Kaepernick (Quarterback): Kaepernick threw 4 interceptions and went 9 of 19 from the field in week 3. This guy is not anywhere close to starting for a fantasy team but the Green Bay defense is worth a shot, after all they did make Alex Smith look pretty bad.
Carlos Hyde (Running Back): Hyde was not bad in the week 3 loss but he was not nearly as explosive as he has been in the past. Hyde is as not as bad as fantasy owners expected but will continue to struggle as the 49ers offense keeps getting worse. The Cardinals defense was especially good last week but the Packers are not too shabby either.
