Analyst Backs 49ers in Week 2 Survivor Pools as 13.5-Point Favorites Over Dolphins

3 articles · Updated · Establish The Run · Sep 17

Summary

  • San Francisco is the recommended Week 2 survivor pick, with the analyst saying it would take a “catastrophe” for the 49ers to lose to Miami.
  • A 13.5-point spread drives that view: the analyst argues the 49ers hold clear edges across coaching and nearly every position group against a Dolphins team led by Malik Willis.
  • Miami’s best path—Willis’ mobility and getting De’Von Achane into space—looks limited by San Francisco’s front seven, especially a linebacker unit led by Fred Warner.
  • Schedule strategy also supports using the 49ers now rather than saving them, with Week 3 against Arizona and Week 9 versus Las Vegas the only future spots the analyst sees as especially attractive.
