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.

Rome Odunze News
Friday, September 18, 10:25 PM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is set to resume his typical role in the team's offense when they line up for a divisional bout with the visiting Minnesota Vikings in Week 2. Odunze dealt with a calf issue for a week or so leading up to Chicago's road opener against Carolina. He was active - despite three straight limited practice sessions - but ranked third regarding snap counts (49%) at his position and hauled in just two-of-three targets for 52 yards. Uninspiring debut aside, the third-year wideout projects as, at worst, a 1B option in Chicago's receiving corps alongside teammate Luther Burden III. More importantly, quarterback Caleb Williams looked improved, even if it was a small sample. Minnesota's defense poses a threat, but Chicago's attack will be difficult to stop if it's firing on all cylinders. Odunze is RotoBaller's PPR WR35 and should continue trending up the further removed he is from an early-season soft-tissue issue.
