After routing the Cardinals last Monday night, the 49ers have to avoid a let-down against the Saints at home on Sunday.
The third-year pro is on track for a 1,000-yard season after notching 46 catches for 587 yards and six touchdowns through 10 games. Aiyuk only caught two catches for 20 yards on Monday night but both of his receptions put points on the board for the 49ers.
The Arizona State product likely will be seeing a lot of the Saints All-Pro safety Tyrann Mathieu, which could lead to fireworks on the field.In Week 11, McCaffrey started the game as the lead back, carrying the ball five times for 31 yards and catching all five of his targets for 48 yards in the first half.
When the Bosa has drawn a double teams, Ebukam has had opportunities to shine. The sixth-year pro has racked up 3.5 quarterback sacks, one shy of his career high 4.5 , 29 total tackles and five quarterback hits and ranks third on the defense with 22 pressures. The star linebacker has the task of not only applying pressure on Saints quarterback Andy Dalton but in stopping star running back Alvin Kamara. The Saints running back not only is a productive ball carrier but a dangerous receiver as well, racking up 43 catches for 385 yards and two touchdowns this season.5. CB Charvarius"Mooney" Ward
