Outlook Christian Kirk

Christian Kirk vs WAS — Speculative stash as Monday activation looms

The 49ers opened Kirk's 21-day practice window this week after he missed the start of the year with a calf injury. Kyle Shanahan indicated it is possible Kirk gets activated for Monday's matchup against Washington, especially with Deebo Samuel ruled out. Kirk was limited in practice and carries a questionable tag, so fantasy managers should check back before kickoff for his official status.

Our weekly projection holds Kirk at 0 fantasy points given the uncertainty around his activation and potential snap count. Even with San Francisco's depleted receiver corps and his roster rate rising to 10%, he is not a viable starting option this week. Keep him stashed on your bench until he proves his health and carves out regular snaps.
