The San Francisco 49ers will be glad to get away from the NFC East for a week. After getting beaten by the Redskins and Cowboys the last two weeks, they were pummeled 33-10 against the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that looked like men against boys.

It was predictable that this was going to be a frustrating day at the office for Dober Fantasy players with pouring rain casting a cloud over large parts of this game. The wet weather proved to be a huge deterrent to rookie C.J. Beathard, who looked lost standing in the pocket. Beathard was sacked four times and threw a pair of interceptions.

Zach Ertz's touchdown streak continued on Sunday. He now has four straight games with a touchdown, and he has amassed either five catches or a trip to the end zone in every game this season. Ertz' 12.34 Dober Fantasy Points per game average ranks him amongst the best and most consistent tight end plays in the NFL each week.

LeGarrette Blount had 16 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown. It might seem a bit alarming to Blount backers that Corey Clement had 10 rushes for 54 yards, but much of what the rookie from Wisconsin accomplished came when the game was out of reach.
