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.

Tylan Wallace News
Wednesday, March 18, 7:33 PM
The Cleveland Browns agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace on Wednesday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. The 26-year-old will reunite with new Browns head coach Todd Monken, who was previously the Ravens' offensive coordinator. Wallace was a fourth-round pick by Baltimore in 2021 out of Oklahoma State. He carved out a special teams role with the organization in his first five years in the NFL but was rarely heard from on offense, totaling just 22 receptions on 35 targets for 305 yards and two touchdowns in 68 total regular-season games (three starts). Wallace will likely continue to primarily be an option for the Browns as a kick returner, so he'll remain off the fantasy radar in 2026. His best season came in 2024, when he caught 11 of 12 targets for 193 yards and one touchdown in 17 games on offense.
