The 49ers' playoff picture has some options. But the 49ers' dream playoff scenario could include the 1 seed in the NFC.

Colts’ Jonathan Taylor; Ricky Pearsall Jr. doesn’t practice but Kyle Shanahan likes his chances to play Monday.

Obviously, the one seed is what the 49ers are aspiring for. It gets you a bye week, and the team that may want a bye week the most is the 49ers. If they can get a little more rested for some of their injured defenders and Ricky Pearsall, it would go a long way. They draw the bottom seed the rest of the way, which helps as well.

The San Francisco 49ers currently hold a playoff spot, and at least one analyst thinks they could be dangerous if they make it.

The 49ers (10-4) can be in the NFC playoff field before Monday’s kickoff in Indianapolis and they still could climb to No. 1

An NFL insider says the 49ers viewing Fred Warner’s potential playoffs return may be an overreaction, but there is a notable caveat.

Two defensive stars were lost for the season. Their QB missed multiple games. Still, here are the 49ers are, a game out of the No. 1 seed.

A 10-4 record keeps the 49ers in the thick of a wild NFC playoff race and moved their win streak to four games. The Titans figure to end the year with one of the worst records in the NFL, so Sunday's game wasn't a great indicator of where the 49ers stand in the NFL hierarchy. However, it did provide plenty to learn and take away.
