Christian Kirk News
Sunday, August 30, 8:06 PM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Christian Kirk (calf) was placed on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's 53-man roster deadline, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Kirk injured his hamstring in late July and wasn't able to play in any of the 49ers' preseason games. Now, he'll also miss at least four regular-season games before being eligible to return starting in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks. Wide receiver injuries are nothing new for the Niners, who already placed Ricky Pearsall (knee) on season-ending IR. The injuries to Kirk and Pearsall should pave the way for De'Zhaun Stribling (shoulder) to open the year as the No. 2 wide receiver alongside Mike Evans. Kirk will presumably slot into the second or third receiver spot when he's healthy enough to play again.

Malik Nabers News
Saturday, October 3, 6:31 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in the 12-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. Amid nasty weather and a run-first Giants offense, Nabers couldn't produce again, as he starts his season slowly. In three games, he has caught 12 of 19 targets for 96 yards, averaging 5.2 half-PPR fantasy points per game, which ranks him as the WR71 on a per-game basis. His struggles with quarterback Jameis Winston are evident, and both are hoping to bounce back against an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With Cardinals cornerbacks Will Johnson (neck) and Garrett Williams (achilles) ruled out and Max Melton (toe) questionable, Nabers and the Giants' receivers should be able to produce. As he looks to kick-start his slow start, Nabers is a low-end WR2 with WR1 upside in Week 4.
