The San Francisco 49ers improved to 1-1 on the season with a Week 2 victory over the Detroit Lions. They sit one game back of the Los Angeles Rams Youth Dante Pettis jersey , XXX with the Seattle Seahawks, and one game up on the Arizona Cardinals.Were back with Week 3 NFL power rankings, but I wanted to use them for a different type oflook this week. You can see my full power rankings at the bottom of the page, but first, I thought two games in is as good a time as any to assess the rest of the 49ers opponents. There are still plenty of questions to be answered, but two games gives us a good starting point for re-assessing the teams strength of schedule.Week 3: @ Kansas City Chiefs Football Outsiders ranks the Chiefs No. 1 in offense and special teams and No. 32 in defense. Patrick Mahomes has been a revelation, and this could be quite the shootout on Sunday.Week 4: @ Los Angeles Chargers A loss to the Chiefs and a win over the Bills dont tell us much. The offense is clearly solid, but the defense remains a problem.Week 5/8: Arizona Cardinals They are not good. Washington came in and thumped them, and then the Rams crushed them in LA. Arizona wont go winless, but theyre down there with the Bills among the worst teams in the league.Week 6: @ Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers is dealing with knee issues, but he played on Sunday http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-fred-warner-jersey , and almost got the win against a tough Vikings defense. Barring an injury, the Packers are good, as most of us expected.Week 7/16: Los Angeles Rams They lead the league in point differential, but they also have played two bad teams in Oakland and Arizona. Theyre going to be very good this season, but where they are among the Super Bowl competitors remains to be seen.Week 9: vs. Oakland Raiders The Raiders hung close with the Rams early in Week 1, but fell apart late. They then followed that up with a loss in which they blew two separate 12-point leads. The biggest problem for them seems to be the lack of a pass rush surprise, surprise after unloading Khalil Mack. They are struggling big time in second half adjustments.Week 10: vs. New York Giants They have lost their first two games by a combined 12 points, but their offense is going to cost them any chance at being remotely competitive for a playoff berth. Eli Manning is trying to play the quarterback position with a fork sticking out, and I dont see this getting better anytime soon.Week 12: @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers Ryan Fitzmagic is on fire! He has eight touchdowns through the first two weeks, and the Bucs have a road win over the New Orleans Saints and a home win over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles. There is no way this holds up, but its impressive for the time being. Now we wait and see what happens when Jameis Winston returns from his suspension.Week 13/15: Seattle Seahawks The Seahawks are sitting at 0-2 Solomon Thomas jersey , and nothing seems to be going well for them. They hung close with the Bears, but that seemed more to do with the Bears nearly blowing the game than Seattle really doing much to win it. Seattle is in trouble.Week 14: vs. Denver Broncos Theyre on the short list of 2-0 teams, but its too early to be clear on where they stand. They won at home against Seattle and Oakland, but neither win is looking all that great at this point. Their divisional games against the Chiefs and Chargers will tell us more.Week 16: vs. Chicago Bears The Bears defense is something fierce. On the other side of things, the Bears offense is shaky at best. Mitchell Trubisky can make some great plays, but he regularly makes bad throws that cost the team. The Bears beat the Seahawks on Monday Night Football 24-17, but should have won by at least two or three scores.Here are my latest power rankings. Last week, I simply went with a ranking of teams based on point differential, thus some of the funky last week rankings. This week I went with a more subjective look at things.Week 3 NFL power rankingsRankTeamLWRankTeamLW49ers work out 5 running backs in light of Matt Breida injury The San Francisco 49ers might be down a key offensive weapon on Monday against the Green Bay Packers. Running back Matt Breida suffered an ankle sprain, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said he would be doubtful for Week 6.The team could decide to promote running back Jeff Wilson from the practice squad, but they also might consider some veteran options. The team worked out Shane Vereen Authentic Ahkello Witherspoon jersey , Charcandrick West, Andre Ellington, Matthew Dayes, and Jeremy McNichols, per ESPNs Field Yates. Shanahan mentioned McNichols on Monday, but would not confirm any other names.Alfred Morris will serve as the teams starting running back, and right now Raheem Mostert is the only other healthy option on the 53-man roster. The 49ers signed running back Matthew Dayes to the practice squad on Tuesday. Dayes was a 2017 seventh round pick of the Cleveland Browns, and was released this year after appearing in all 16 games for the Browns last year. |
