FANDUEL SPORTSBOOK NFL LINE: 49ers by 2 1/2.LAST MEETING: 49ers beat Steelers 24-20 on Sept. 22, 2019, in Santa Clara, Calif.49ERS DEFENSE: OVERALL , RUSH , PASS , SCORING STEELERS DEFENSE: OVERALL , RUSH , PASS , SCORING 49ERS PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Brock Purdy went from the final pick of the draft last season to leading the Niners to the NFC title game. He won his first seven starts before injuring his elbow early in the NFC title game loss at Philadelphia.
KEY MATCHUP: Pittsburgh’s offensive line against San Francisco’s defensive front. The Steelers signed G Isaac Seumalo away from Philadelphia in the offseason and drafted tackle Broderick Jones and tight end Darnell Washington out of Georgia with the idea of wearing down opponents. The 49ers are not most opponents.
SERIES NOTES: The home team has won each of the past five meetings. ... The 49ers are 6-5 all time in Pittsburgh, but haven’t won in the Steel City since Dec. 15, 1996. FANTASY TIP: McCaffery figures to be featured heavily as the 49ers try to make Purdy’s job as easy as possible. Still, points — fantasy or otherwise — might be hard to come by. The Steelers have allowed 17 points or fewer in seven straight games. San Francisco gave up over 17 points just four times over their final 12 games a year ago.
