Most of James' on-field work Sunday came on special teams. Both of his touches on offense happened on back-to-back plays in the second quarter, coinciding with the absence of Christian McCaffrey, the latter of whom was playing through a thigh injury during most of Sunday's contest. The only way James would see consistent playing time on offense is if one of McCaffrey or rookie Kaelon Black were to miss time. The 49ers will get some additional rest thanks to the Week 8 bye, and their next game takes place Week 9 against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Over 21.5 RUSH YDS by situation, each with its own confidence — thin splits read Low, so a small-sample “crushes at home” doesn’t masquerade as an edge.
LV allows 68.3 RUSH YDS per game to running backs (rank 1 = allows the most).

FavorableOver his last 2 games, Jordan James has gone over 21.5 RUSH YDS 1 of 2 decided times (50%) — versus 50% across the full season. LV has been a favorable matchup for running backs this season, allowing the 1st-most RUSH YDS of 32 teams (68.3 per game). His game-to-game RUSH YDS have been moderately variable (σ ≈ 6.5), so short streaks can mislead. These are descriptive stats about past games, not predictions or betting advice.

Hit rate excludes pushes from the denominator. Confidence uses a 95% Wilson interval — a high recent rate on few games still reads as low confidence. Season over rate at this line: 50%.
