Outlook Christian Kirk
Christian Kirk nearing return from calf injury with opportunity looming in San Francisco
Kirk remains officially out on injured reserve with a calf issue, but his 21-day practice window is open. With Deebo Samuel sidelined by a hamstring injury and Mike Evans banged up, Kyle Shanahan noted Kirk could potentially play soon. The veteran slot receiver faces minimal competition for interior targets once active, giving him an immediate path to volume in a depleted receiving corps.
We project zero fantasy points for Kirk this week, keeping him firmly on fantasy benches until officially activated. However, his roster rate has climbed from 4% to 17% this past week as managers stash his upside. Kirk has a history of high-volume production and could emerge as a trusted target for Brock Purdy. Check back often for his latest practice status.

Outlook Konata Mumpfield
Konata Mumpfield at Las Vegas — Expanded Role Looming in a High-Scoring Spot
With Davante Adams recently landing on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Los Angeles will need others to step up behind Puka Nacua. Mumpfield operates as the Rams' primary slot receiver and should see additional routes in a projected high-scoring matchup against the Raiders.
Even with the vacated playing time, Mumpfield has managed just three targets over his last two contests and is rostered in only 3% of leagues. We project him for around 1.9 fantasy points on roughly 1.5 targets, making him a bench option outside of very deep formats until he proves his weekly involvement.
