Overview
- Pro Football Focus published its Week 9 grades on Monday and placed Houston receiver Kayshon Boutte atop the leaderboard after he caught four passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns and earned a 94.5 overall grade.
- PFF singled out Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love and pass-rusher Myles Garrett as other league standouts, with Love posting a 94.3 overall grade for 372 passing yards and Garrett generating eight pressures and three sacks.
- In San Francisco's 38-17 win over Las Vegas, linebacker Dre Greenlaw led the game with a 91.5 PFF grade after multiple defensive stops and a fumble recovery, while George Kittle paced the offense with an 83.0 offensive grade and an 89.7 receiving grade.
- 49ers Webzone's PFF-focused coverage credited the returns of Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner with improving the 49ers' defensive front, which in turn lifted Fred Warner's and Dre Greenlaw's coverage and run-defense grades.
- PFF's game-by-game reports, republished by team and local outlets, use snap- and category-level grading to reveal strengths and weaknesses—such as interior pass-protection issues and turnover-prone quarterback games—that drive lineup and coaching decisions going forward.
