Lamb fumbled last week; faces 49ers' elite slot coverage but has outside receiver upside.

Lamb is the Cowboys' most potent receiver and one of the best receivers the 49ers have faced this season. However, he fumbled going into the end zone last week. The 49ers allow slot receivers a 51% target share (second-lowest in the league) and allow only 31 yards per game between the numbers (best in the NFL). The 49ers' defense is built around taking away throws to the slot, with post-snap spinning at safety and Fred Warner lurking. Lamb will be on the outside, where the 49ers have been less effective; Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 102 yards on five catches, Brock Bowers had 111 receiving yards, and Trey McBride had 75 yards.
