Tetairoa McMillan should face cornerback , Renardo Green, who had a shaky start to the season with penalties. McMillan has a size advantage of at least 5 inches in height and 20-30 pounds of weight over the 49ers’ secondary.

Ja’Tavion Sanders hasn’t scored yet this season, but he faces a 49ers defense that is tied for the second most red zone targets (12) and touchdowns (7) allowed to tight ends. Sanders also catches 78% of his red zone targets, making him an efficient and contrarian play.

The Panthers average the second-most fourth down conversions (2) in away games, the 49ers allow opponents to convert on fourth down 67% of the time at home.

On late downs, 11 personnel is run 85% of the time with 84% pass rate.

The Panthers’ running back who gets involved in the passing game more could have an edge against the 49ers. They have given up the third most receptions(61) and red zone targets (7) to pass catching backs this season.

San Francisco’s defense is tied with the Dolphins and the Vikings for fewest interception takeaways (3) and tied for fifth most interception giveaways (10).

Luke Farrell has caught all of his 3 red zone targets for two TDs and seems to be worth mentioning in this matchup as a FLEX option alternative to Pearsall that could allow you to play with a more unique roster construction.

49ers will run the ball considerably on early downs, but on late downs 11 personnel usage jumps up over 35% to 79% usage rate and with almost 87% pass rate.

Defense has given up 150 receptions to wide receivers, more than Dallas (131), Vegas (142), and Tennessee (140).

Field goal attempts are slightly lower at home (1.8 per game) compared to the season average of 2.3. Matt Gay is still a viable option, but it's something to consider before automatically putting him in lineups.
