Jordan Watkins at Dallas: High-Scoring Road Test for Emerging Receiver
Coming off a breakout 86-yard performance with his first career touchdown on downfield looks from Brock Purdy, Jordan Watkins is gaining momentum in San Francisco. With Mike Evans sidelined, Watkins continues rotating in behind Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel Sr., while George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey command primary volume for the 7-1 49ers.
Despite rising waiver interest this week, he is barely being started in fantasy leagues, and our projection sits at a modest 4.5 PPR points on roughly two targets. Even in a projected high-scoring road game against the Cowboys, Watkins profiles as a volatile bench option best reserved for deep-league lineups.

Brian Thomas Jr. vs. Colts — Diminishing Role Keeps Him on Fantasy Benches
Despite remaining listed as a starter on the depth chart, Brian Thomas Jr. has seen his role decline significantly after an in-game benching and going catchless across his last two appearances. With trade rumors swirling and fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers questionable with hamstring and ankle injuries, Thomas has an opportunity to rebuild trust, but his current snap floor remains concerning.
Fantasy sentiment has cratered accordingly, with his start rate dropping to just 2%. Our projection expects minimal involvement, forecasting roughly 1.7 receptions for 22 yards (6.0 fantasy points) against Indianapolis. With Jacksonville favored by 10 points in a matchup likely slanted toward the run, Thomas is strictly a bench stash until his route participation stabilizes.
