Week 11 of the NFL season concludes with an NFC West battle between the 49ers and Cardinals.
I have two players — one from each side — to target in this game. These players aren’t the flashiest of names and are more bargain-bin guys who could surprise.
TE Trey McBride, Cardinals
The rookie second-round pick takes over as Arizona's starting tight for Zach Ertz (knee). He ran a route on 80% of dropbacks last week and he should be on the field for nearly every pass play in this one.
WR Jauan Jennings, 49ers
Jennings ran a route on 60% of the dropbacks in Week 10, his highest route participation rate since the first week of the season.
The Cardinals tend to do a good job at limiting their opponent's top two WRs and funneling the ball elsewhere, which is borne out in their DVOA rankings of first versus No. 1 wide receivers, sixth versus No. 2 wide receivers, and 23rd versus non-top-two wide receivers. Jennings has caught multiple passes in six of eight games this season.
