San Francisco’s Week 1 spotlight was supposed to be on Jake Moody, but the opener quickly became about the unit beneath him. Moody pushed a 27-yard attempt off the upright, drawing stunned looks from Shanahan and a chorus of questions from fantasy managers about SF’s kicking stability. A blocked 36-yarder later, and Moody’s job—and the 49ers’ special-teams overhaul—hang in the balance as Jake Tonges rescued a late drive for a 17-13 win over Seattle.

Seattle’s return game and a muffed punt by Skyy Moore kept the Seahawks within reach, and Cody White’s 36-yard kickoff return kept the scoreboard ticking. Moody finally converted in the fourth, but the day underscored how much SF’s special-teams staff—Brant Boyer and crew—will shape Week 1 outcomes and fantasy value in a foggy start to the season.
