49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He's seemingly in danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. Jennings' absence would mean slight target projection boosts for WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. We'll update Jennings' status again tomorrow.
49ers RB Jordan Mason (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan previously labeled Mason "day to day" with his sprained AC joint. He seems legitimately questionable for Sunday's showdown with the Chiefs. We'll keep you updated on Mason's status leading up to that one. His absence would leave rookie Isaac Guerendo as San Francisco's lead back against the league's top-ranked RB defense.
49ers WR Ricky Pearsall returned to practice on Monday, 44 days after being shot in an attempted robbery. The Niners have 21 days to move Pearsall onto the active roster or place him on season-ending IR. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye, so Week 10 might be Pearsall's most likely debut. He'd probably need injuries to two of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle to be a real fantasy factor this season. The rookie can be left on the waiver wire in most redraft leagues.
49ers HC Kyle Shanahan labeled RB Jordan Mason "day to day" with the sprained AC joint he suffered in his left shoulder in Thursday night's win over the Seahawks. Mason has another nine days to heal up for a Week 7 showdown with the Chiefs. It sounds like he has a good chance to be ready for that one. We'll track his status throughout next week.
The 49ers believe RB Jordan Mason is dealing with an AC sprain in his left shoulder, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The injury "is not considered serious, but he will undergo further testing today," Schefter adds. It sounds like Mason at least has a chance to be ready for Week 7's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll look for further updates on his status. Rookie Isaac Guerendo will likely operate as San Francisco's lead back if Mason misses time.
49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk caught just two balls for 37 yards in the Week 6 win over the Seahawks. QB Brock Purdy threw it just 28 times in this one, but Aiyuk's four targets were tied with FB Kyle Juszczyk for fourth on the team behind TE George Kittle, WR Deebo Samuel, and WR Jauan Jennings.
49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 18 of 28 passes (64%) for 255 yards (9.1 YPA), three TDs, and 0 INTs in Thursday night's win over the Seahawks. Purdy's first score came early in the second quarter. He connected down the left sideline with WR Deebo Samuel, who dodged one defender before out-racing another for a 76-yard score. Purdy's other two TDs went to TE George Kittle from 10 and nine yards out. Purdy impressed with his mobility throughout this game, buying extra time to throw and running four times for 19 yards.
49ers RB Jordan Mason injured his left shoulder midway through the second quarter of Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. He missed the rest of the half, returned to carry on the first play of the third quarter, but then didn't play again. Mason was never officially ruled out and remained on the sidelines trying to keep his shoulder loose. HC Kyle Shanahan said after the game that they'd find out more about the injury on Friday. Mason was on his way to a big game, carrying nine times for 73 yards in less than one half of action.
Niners CB Charvarius Ward (Knee) is inactive for tonight's game against the Seahawks. It's a bit surprising after he managed limited practices the past two days and entered the night questionable. That leaves San Francisco without its top corner against the league's leading offense in passing volume. Ward's absence particularly helps DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett on the outside.
49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Matthew Wright, who owns a career 85% FG conversion rate, will kick in Moody's place. With the Niners holding the week's third-highest implied total at 26.5 points, Wright is a fine replacement for Moody in fantasy lineups.
49ers K Jake Moody is expected to miss multiple weeks with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, HC Kyle Shanahan said. Moody can be dropped from all fantasy rosters. We'll see who the 'Niners bring in as his replacement. They have a short turnaround to Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks.
Niners TE George Kittle tied WR Brandon Aiyuk for the team lead in targets (12) and receptions (8) in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He tallied 64 yards and caught the team's lone TD pass. No other 49er caught more than one pass for the game.
Niners WR Deebo Samuel made just one catch (for 11 yards) and rushed for only 9 yards on 3 carries in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
Niners WR Brandon Aiyuk racked up 8 receptions for 147 yards in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He tied TE George Kittle for the team lead in catches and targets (12), while delivering 83 more yards than anyone else on the team.
49ers kicker Jake Moody has been ruled out of Week 5 with a right ankle injury. We'll see if he's able to get cleared in time for a Thursday night game at Seattle.
Niners LB Fred Warner (ankle) is officially active for today's game against the Cardinals, as expected. CB Isaac Yiadom (thigh) is also active after entering the day questionable.
49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. But Kittle played through this injury in the second half of last week’s game and should be ready for something close to his usual role today.
Niners LB Fred Warner is expected to play through his ankle sprain today against the Cardinals, according to multiple reports. There might still be some risk of limited playing time, but this early report indicates that he's better than a game-time decision. He appeared to be moving well in his Friday return to practice. I moved Warner back up the Week 5 LB rankings on this morning's news. He'll obviously carry some re-injury risk -- but also plenty of fantasy upside. Weigh both vs. your other IDP lineup options.
49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) is expected to play vs. the Cardinals today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kittle is listed as questionable after getting in just a limited practice on Friday. But he was able to play through this injury in the second half of last week’s game and will be out there again today. There's some risk of re-injury here if Kittle takes a big hit, but he belongs in basically all fantasy lineups.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey did not experience any setbacks with his Achilles tendonitis after returning to on-field work this week, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Although he was dealing with tendonitis in both Achilles at one point, it's only one that's giving him trouble right now, per Schefter. McCaffrey finally seems to be trending in the right direction. Schefter adds that McCaffrey could return as early as Week 7 or be held out through San Francisco's Week 9 bye, depending on how he responds to increased work in practice.
