49ers stock report heading into final 2017 contest versus the Rams
By Peter Panacy
The San Francisco 49ers wrap up their 2017 campaign with a road contest against their NFC West division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams. Niner Noise has your weekly stock report just ahead of Week 17.
It’s hard to imagine most 5-10 teams generating as much buzz heading into the final week of any NFL season.
But that’s exactly what the San Francisco 49ers have done, pulling off a stunning 44-33 upset over the playoff-bound Jacksonville Jaguars and riding a four-game winning streak in the process.
The Niners may be the hottest thing in football right now, which leads to an exciting offseason and the prospects of an infinitely better 2018 campaign not so far down the road.

Since we’re still treating this season as an extended “tryout” for next year, it’s always worth looking at player stock values after any given week. Some remained on the hot list, while others did not.
A few are easy to point out. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo remains undefeated as a starter, and it would be naive to suggest he’s been anything but the difference maker for San Francisco these past few weeks.
Yet he’s certainly not the only player to see his stock rise.
So let’s tackle the stock report stemming from last Sunday’s game and break down which players saw their respective stocks rise or fall during the Niners’ Week 16 victory over the Jaguars, as well as how it will translate over into the team’s final game of 2017 against the Los Angeles Rams.
