Falcons fan and “Saturday Night Live” star Kenan Thompson did the opening tease to the game with the 49ers, set for 8:20 Sunday night on “Sunday Night Football” in Santa Clara, California.

“Oh man, here we go again,” Thompson says. “Bijan Robinson and Christian McCaffrey, two of the greatest running backs in all of football. How in the name of LaDainian Tomlinson did I wind up with both of these ballers on my fantasy football team.”

How did he get both of them on his team?

“Look, it’s a long story,” Thompson said. “I’m in a Brazilian keeper league, with a triple helix snake draft.”

Thompson explains his weekly dilemma.

“Every week, I come up with the same decision,” Thompson says. “I’m starting them both. Come on man, it’s fantasy football. Either way, Keenan’s Midnight Riders are about to go off.

“Falcons, 49ers on Sunday night football, baby. Go get ’em, boys.”
