## Overview

The Atlanta Falcons (2-4) host the San Francisco 49ers (6-0) on Sunday, October 25, 2026 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, kickoff at 1:00 PM ET on Fox. Atlanta comes in on a two-game skid, dropping a 23-31 decision to the Chicago Bears in Week 6 after a 23-30 loss to the Baltimore Ravens the week before. San Francisco has won every game it's played, most recently a 23-17 home win over the Washington Commanders in Week 6.

Atlanta's season has had swings — a 45-24 win at the New Orleans Saints in Week 4 and a 35-14 win at the Green Bay Packers in Week 3 sit alongside a 3-34 blowout loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. San Francisco's wins have been steadier: 32-29 over the Seattle Seahawks, 24-14 over the Denver Broncos, 36-30 over the Arizona Cardinals and 35-13 over the Miami Dolphins, all stacked in a row without a loss anywhere in the mix.

The edge here belongs to San Francisco, and it's not close on paper. The 49ers have outscored opponents 177-110 this season, while the Falcons sit at 142-153. The market has San Francisco favored by 2.5 with a total of 49.5, which lines up with a team that hasn't lost and an Atlanta squad trying to find its footing again.

## Key players

[Bijan Robinson](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/bijan-robinson) leads the league with 785 scrimmage yards this season and has topped 115 scrimmage yards in three of his past four games, carrying a 17.5 DraftKings projection into Sunday.

[Michael Penix Jr.](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/michael-penix-jr) threw for 225 yards and 3 touchdowns with a 108.8 rating in Week 6 and is chasing a fifth straight game with 220-plus passing yards and a touchdown pass.

[Drake London](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/drake-london) has gone for 95-plus receiving yards in three of his last four outings and projects for 14.0 DraftKings points.

[Brock Purdy](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/brock-purdy) completed 21 of 29 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown with a 111.9 rating in Week 6 and is tied for first in the league with 14 touchdown passes this season.

[Christian McCaffrey](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/christian-mccaffrey) piled up 117 scrimmage yards and 2 rushing touchdowns in Week 6 and ranks second in scrimmage yards since 2017 with 13,519.

## Keys to the game

Atlanta has to find a way to bottle up McCaffrey near the goal line, since he's chasing a sixth straight game against Atlanta with 130-plus scrimmage yards.

The Falcons defense needs to make Purdy work for it through the air, because he's posted 2-plus touchdown passes in five of his past six games.

Atlanta's offense needs Bijan Robinson to set the tone early and often given he's the league's leading scrimmage-yardage back this season.

## Fantasy angles

Start Bijan Robinson with confidence — a 17.5 DraftKings projection and the league's top scrimmage-yardage mark this season make him Atlanta's clear focal point.

Start Michael Penix Jr. — he's projected for 16.0 points and is working on a streak of five straight games with 220-plus passing yards and a touchdown pass.

Start Drake London — a 14.0 projection fits a receiver who's cleared 95 receiving yards in three of his last four games.

[Kyle Pitts Sr.](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/kyle-pitts-sr) is a start in the red zone — he caught two touchdown passes in Week 6 and is chasing a third straight game with a touchdown catch, even with a modest 9.0 projection.

[Nick Folk](https://profootballnewshub.com/nfl/players/nick-folk) is a streaming option at kicker with an 8.0 projection, nothing more.

## Prediction

The market lands on San Francisco 26, Atlanta's offense enough to keep it within the margin, but the 49ers' perfect record and scoring edge carry them to a 26-24 finish. San Francisco's balance between Purdy's efficiency and McCaffrey's history against Atlanta is the difference, while the Falcons' two-game skid proves too much to overcome at home.
