On the other sideline in the Bucs-49ers game, Mullens is in play for those in deep leagues.

Tampa Bay's defense has been some kind of awful this season. By our numbers, the Bucs rank dead last in pass D and fourth-worst in overall defense, and they're allowing the most fantasy points to opposing signal callers.

Without star linebacker Lavonte David last week, the Bucs got rolled by the New York Giants, forcing a measly one incompletion from Eli Manning. Dealing with a sprained MCL, David could sit again this week, and Tampa has zero incentive to rush him back.

In his second start, Mullens didn't match his superb debut, but he was a solid 27 of 39 for 250 yards, tossing 1 score and 2 picks. With Kyle Shanahan having a bye week to prepare for one of the league's worst defenses, Mullens is a decent low-end streamer in a game with shootout potential as San Fran's 25.75-point implied total is a solid number.

We forecast Mullens to score 17.15 fantasy points, ranking him as the week's QB18.
