49ers fans have spoken. After tallying the votes for our poll sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook, special teams are the biggest concern and challenge for the team to overcome in 2024. Fifty-eight percent of fans are worried about the 31st-ranked special teams unit in the NFL. Of the three options, including injuries and intangibles (red zone offense included), special teams beat both options by 58 to 42 percent.
Special teams can undo an entire season. Ask the Green Bay Packers, who held the number one seed and didn’t allow an offensive touchdown to the 49ers.
