Sunday Night Football (DAL @ SF)

#4

👇 C. Lamb: O 69.5 rec yards

Best Line: (Underdog) | USE CODE: NFLARMY

This matchup couldn’t set up better for Lamb, who spends nearly 50% of his snaps in the slot, exactly where the 49ers' defense has struggled most. San Francisco allows a league-high 11.4 yards per target to slot receivers, making it one of the softest defenses for players like Lamb to exploit. Lamb also ranks in the 77th percentile in yards after the catch (YAC), averaging 5.66 YAC per catch, while the 49ers allow an average of 4.74 YAC—the 4th most in the league. As a 4.5-point underdog, the Cowboys are expected to pass heavily, with projections indicating Dallas will pass on 62.5% of their plays. This game script plays right into Lamb’s hands, especially as the Cowboys aim to keep pace with the 49ers. With his elite slot ability and yards-after-catch prowess, Lamb is in a prime position to hit more than 69.5 receiving yards, and he might even do it before the 3rd quarter ends.

#3

👇 J. Tolbert: U 49.5 rec yards

Best Line: (Underdog) | USE CODE: NFLARMY

We know CeeDee has a great slot matchup, but Tolbert lines up outside on nearly 80% of his snaps, which is a whole different story. The 49ers’ defense clamps down on outside receivers, allowing just 5.6 yards per target, the lowest in the NFL. And while Tolbert has seen a boost in volume this season, averaging 47 adjusted receiving yards per game, he’s up against a top-tier San Francisco secondary that’s allowed the 2nd-lowest completion rate to wide receivers. Additionally, the Cowboys’ offensive line is ranked 2nd worst in pass protection this year, meaning Dak Prescott will likely have limited time to find Tolbert deep. This, combined with the 13 mph winds and San Francisco’s elite linebacker coverage, makes the outside matchup a tough one for Tolbert to overcome. Everything here points to him staying below 49.5 receiving yards.

#2

👇 G. Kittle: O 49.5 rec yards

Best Line: (Underdog) | USE CODE: NFLARMY

In their last matchup, this TE put on a show with 3 touchdowns, and Dallas hasn’t tightened up its defense against tight ends since. This season, Dallas is allowing a massive 8.6 yards per target to tight ends (28th in the league) and ranks 2nd worst in yards after the catch (YAC), surrendering an average of 6.5 YAC to opposing TEs. Kittle has been a central piece of San Francisco’s pass game, with a 23.9% target share and 69 receiving yards per game this season—up from last year’s 60 yards per game. With projections indicating San Francisco will run one of the highest play volumes this week, Kittle is expected to see plenty of action in a fast-paced game. Add to this the fact that Dallas's safeties rank 7th worst in covering tight ends, and Kittle’s primed to hit more than 49.5 receiving yards again..
