These Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays will help you dominate Thursday Night Football! The Rams (7-6) are coming off a huge win over the Bills, while the 49ers (6-7) are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive. With that in mind, we have a couple of good spots to target in our Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays.
Every Thursday Night Football, I’ll break down my favorite Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays for that night’s game.
What’s Bleacher Nation Fantasy?
Bleacher Nation Fantasy is the newest real-money fantasy game on the market, and also the easiest for players to win real money! Last Thursday, players won at over an 80% clip. And now, they have both NFL and NBA contests to play. Their main game mode, Rivals, is all matchup-based, which is what we’ll focus on here. And the best part? It’s extremely simple. Without parlaying anything at all, you can choose who will have more receiving yards between Puka Nacua or Jauan Jennings (plus 60-80 other matchups just like that!)
So without further ado, let’s dive into my favorite picks at Bleacher Nation Fantasy in what should be a high-scoring matchup, as reflected by the 49-point game total.

Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays: Thursday Night Football
Bleacher Nation Fantasy is a new game available in 30+ states! Make sure to hop in the action for Thursday night football.
Puka Nacua -41 Receiving Yards vs Deebo Samuel
Since returning from injury in Week 8, Puka Nacua is averaging 96.1 receiving yards per game. This includes four games with over 100 yards. It’s also worth noting that Nacua only had 11 yards vs the Seahawks in Week 9 because he was ejected in the second quarter.
Simply put, Nacua has picked up right where he left off from last year and been one of the most productive receivers this season.
On the other side, Deebo Samuel has been one of the most disappointing receivers in the NFL.
The 49ers’ wideouts has averaged only 21.25 receiving yards in his last four games, maxing out at 22 yards during this stretch.
It’s clear that Deebo has fallen behind Jauan Jennings in the 49ers’ pecking order.
While 41 receiving yards is a lot to lay, Nacua’s prop is around 90.5 at sportsbooks, while Deebo is at 50.5, so it’s right around projections.
I’ll go with Puka to stay hot and Deebo to continue struggling in this spot.
Brock Purdy -8 Passing Yards vs Matthew Stafford
Brock Purdy has the more favorable matchup for passing production, so I’m riding with the 49ers’ quarterback over Matthew Stafford.
The Rams’ defense ranks 29th in Pass EPA, allowing 243 passing yards per game. Meanwhile, the 49ers come in at 12th, giving up only 197 passing yards per game.
There’s also a chance that the 49ers are a bit more pass-heavy in this one, since running back Isaac Guerendo is banged up with a sprained foot.
I like the Rams to win this game and play with a lead, which could also force Purdy to the air more often and enable Stafford to keep the ball on the ground with Kyren Williams.
If we look at the sportsbooks, we see that Purdy is listed at 250.5 passing yards, while Stafford is at 242.5, so this spread is right at projections.
I’ll ride with Purdy -8 over Stafford given the projected game environment.
