San Francisco moved swiftly to replace Jake Moody with Eddy Pineiro after Moody went 1-for-3 in Week 1. Pineiro, who logged a strong 2024 season with Carolina, brings a proven leg and a long track record of accuracy to Levi’s. The move aims to stabilize SF’s kicking game and reduce fantasy risk at the position as Moody’s struggles linger.

Pineiro’s 2024 Panthers line was 22-of-26 on field goals and 33-of-35 on extra points, underscoring reliability. Moody’s early hiccup opens the door for Pineiro to grab the Week 2 duties, potentially giving fantasy managers a dependable kicker in SF and a steadier source of points after a rocky start to Moody’s career with the 49ers.
