The San Francisco 49ers have made a significant move, trading for defensive end Bryce Huff, a pure pass-rushing specialist, to bolster their defensive line. This acquisition addresses a specific need for the team, providing a complement to Nick Bosa. The 49ers also reworked Fred Warner's contract, saving salary-cap room, and have over $XX million in effective 2025 cap space.

"Sunday is a prime opportunity for the 49ers' run game to finally click. Atlanta is the worst run defense (#19 EPA) that SF has faced so far. On top of that the Falcons field a relatively light nickel-based D that should be vulnerable to big TE production. Fittingly: George Kittle the leverage driver is back. That'll allow Jake Tonges to slide into the receiving-rooted TE2 role. This Falcons defense is #5 overall in EPA but the tape suggests there are exploitable vulnerabilities for a healing 49ers offense"
