In Week 9, Nick Mullens posted a surprise three touchdown game against the Oakland Raiders in his first career start. Since that time, Mullens has come back to earth.

Over his last two starts, Mullens has thrown four interceptions and just two touchdowns despite plus matchups against the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Against the Bucs last week, Mullens also took four sacks in a 27-9 loss.

Now in Week 13, Mullens will face his toughest test yet against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are 10.0-point home favorites against a 49ers team that has given up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season.

Mullens is coming off a game in which he took four sacks, but the Niners offensive line has had issues regardless of who is under center. San Francisco quarterbacks have combined to take 35 sacks, fifth-most league-wide. While the Seahawks rank middle of the pack in sacks (28), they have forced 17 turnovers this season, tied for 10th-most.

At home against Mullens, the Seahawks are another great streaming option.
