By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 7th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Since Week 7, Irving has played 35-42% of the snaps weekly while averaging 12.6 touches and 65 total yards as the RB27 in fantasy points per game. Irving has been an integral part of the passing game, too, with a 10.3% target share, 2.54 YPRR, and 34.7 receiving yards per game. Irving has surprised as a rusher this season. Among 47 qualifying backs, Irving ranks third in explosive run rate, fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and tenth in yards after contact per attempt. San Francisco ranks 15th in missed tackle rate and has allowed the ninth-highest yards after contact per attempt. From a rushing standpoint, this is an average matchup for Irving, but he and White should crush them through the air. The 49ers have also given up the eighth-most receiving yards and the 11th-highest yards per reception to backs.
