"Even though he didn't score last week, Henderson has reached the end zone in five of his eight games this year, including multiple trips twice in the last four weeks. He'll be up against a 49ers defense that has allowed 12 rushing TDs this year. The gamescript may call for more running in the red zone too after the Rams lost Robert Woods to a torn ACL; Odell Beckham certainly hasn't had enough time learning the offense to lean on him in scoring situations. I like Henderson's Overs in general this week, but I much prefer playing him to score at around the same juice while sprinkling a little on multiple scores in case the Rams offense bounces back in a big way after the loss last week."

"Garoppolo has thrown interceptions in four different games this year, all 49ers home losses against teams with good offenses where the 49ers knew they had to get aggressive scoring points. The three games where Garoppolo didn't throw a pick came against Detroit, Philadelphia and Chicago on the road, spots where he wasn't forced to do too much in pursuit of a win. This matchup certainly profiles as the former example, as San Francisco will undoubtedly have to get into a shootout with the Rams if they want to pick up a win, and that means putting the ball at risk in more situations. He should also be dealing with significant pressure in this matchup after his line lost Mike McGlinchey and the Rams added Von Miller. The Rams defense has racked up 12 picks this year already, and everything lines up for them to add to that total here."

"While Kittle didn't see quite his normal snap rate in his return from injury last week, he did manage to post his first 100-yard game of the season. That it came on a day where Brandon Aiyuk and Eli Mitchell also posted their best receiving days of the season by far while Deebo Samuel still got nine targets is pretty surprising. There shouldn't be that much production to go around for all those weapons on a weekly basis, and I believe Kittle is a guy who could see his production drop this week as the 49ers keep him in to block more with Mike McGlinchey sidelined and the Rams throwing both Aaron Donald and Von Miller at this O-line. Even if he's just chipping a pass-rusher before going out on a route, that could mean less downfield targets to help get over this number. I also like the value of taking Under 4.5 receptions at +130, but this one seems like a safer play if Kittle racks up some dump-off targets short of the sticks to counter the blitz."
