Christian Kirk Placed on Injured Reserve with Knee Injury

Saturday, November 7, 1:58 PM

The San Francisco 49ers have placed wide receiver Christian Kirk (knee) on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. He will now miss at least four games. Kirk's roster spot will go to wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, who was activated from IR on Saturday. The bad injury news continues for the Niners, who enter this week without receivers Mike Evans (Achilles), Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), and Kirk. This is Kirk's second time on injured reserve during the first half of the 2026 season. He missed the first six games of the year with a calf injury, returned to catch zero passes in his season debut in Week 7, was on a bye in Week 8, and is now back on the shelf ahead of Week 9. It's worth noting that this is a different injury than what he dealt with before, as head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed that the veteran receiver is now battling a meniscus issue. Robinson and Brandin Cooks are expected as the Niners' top wide receivers in Week 9, but quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite target will presumably be tight end George Kittle.

Jameson Williams News

Jameson Williams Remains a High-Risk, High-Reward WR Option

Saturday, November 14, 5:30 AM

Across eight games in 2026, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has recorded 28 catches for 468 yards and five touchdowns on 46 targets. The 25-year-old logged three straight games with at least one touchdown reception between Weeks 5-8, but he was held to just one catch for 31 yards and zero touchdowns on two targets in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Given the downfield nature of his role in the Lions' passing game, Williams is prone to bust weeks. However, he remains a big-play threat who can go off for massive numbers in any given game. Williams has a relatively favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, who rank 25th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.9) and have allowed the second-most receptions of 20-plus yards (31). Williams remains a boom/bust WR2 option for fantasy managers in Week 10.
