San Francisco 49ers

Jaden Dugger

LB

Dugger was listed as a starter for the third time this season, and the rookie fifth-rounder led the 49ers in tackles while playing 64 of 67 defensive snaps (95.5 percent). He looks to be the favored option as the team's third starting linebacker alongside veterans Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw. San Francisco will hit the road for Week 7 against Atlanta on Oct. 25.

Fred Warner

LB

Warner was on the field for every single defensive snap for a fourth consecutive game, and he finished second on the 49ers in tackles behind Jaden Dugger (11). Warner has logged at least seven tackles in five of six regular-season games, and his 58 combined tackles are third-most in the NFL behind Alex Singleton (68) and Ernest Jones (59). The 49ers will hit the road for Week 7 against the Falcons on Sunday.

Eddy Pineiro

PK

Pineiro connected on a 33-yard field goal late in the third quarter to give the 49ers a 23-3 lead, but his extra-point try late in the first quarter missed wide to the right. Through six regular-season games, the veteran kicker has gone 6-for-9 on field-goal attempts and 19-for-22 on extra-point tries. He hasn't been the most accurate kicker, but Pineiro's scoring floor will remain elevated seeing as the 49ers rank third in the NFL in points per game (29.5) and ninth in yards per game (366.7). The 49ers will hit the road for Week 7 against the Falcons on Oct. 25.

Upton Stout

CB

Stout's practice reps during Week 6 prep were limited due to his shoulder injury. He was cleared to play Monday but was hampered by his injury, which led to Shanahan replacing Stout with Ashtyn Davis. Stout's practice participation over the coming days will provide some clarity on his status for Sunday's road game against the Falcons.

Dre Greenlaw

LB

Greenlaw was back at practice Tuesday after missing the team's 23-17 win over the Commanders on Monday Night Football. The 29-year-old will return to his starting role at weakside linebacker in Week 7 against the Falcons.

Jordan Watkins

WR

Watkins connected with Brock Purdy on a 22-yard pass early in the second quarter, and all three of the former's catches this season have been for 20-plus yards. Watkins' 47 offensive snaps ended up leading all 49ers wide receivers, and the second-year pro's role in the passing game could expand in Week 8 against the Falcons on Oct. 25, depending on the availability of Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring).

Jacob Cowing

WR

Despite the absence of Deebo Samuel (hamstring) and the premature exit of Mike Evans (Achilles), Cowing went without a catch for the fifth time this season. With neither Samuel nor Evans a lock to suit up in Week 7 versus the Falcons, Cowing might see more snaps alongside Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins. However, that may not be the case if Demarcus Robinson (ankle) can manage to get on the field after spending time on injured reserve since the Week 2 win over Miami.

Mike Evans

WR

Listed as questionable heading into Monday after failing to practice all week while nursing the Achilles issue in addition to fractured ribs, Evans suited up but lasted just two quarters before aggravating the Achilles injury. He still delivered for fantasy managers with three receptions for 94 yards on five targets, but the veteran wideout's latest setback on the health front could put him in danger of missing his first game of the season. Before deciding on Evans' status for Sunday's game, the 49ers will likely continue to rest him during practices throughout the week and see how he bounces back from the Achilles tendinitis. With a bye on tap in Week 8, the 49ers may be incentivized to hold Evans out against the Falcons to ensure he's in optimal health for the second half of the season.

Brandin Cooks

WR

Cooks unsurprisingly played a minor role in the air attack as one of four players with one catch on the night. The veteran wideout has two receptions for 20 yards and a touchdown on five targets over the three games for which he's been active to date, and with Demarcus Robinson (ankle) not likely to return from injured reserve until Week 8, Cooks is likely to suit up again in a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Kaelon Black

RB

Black logged half as many carries as Christian McCaffrey and a whopping nine fewer targets, cementing the pecking order in the 49ers' ground attack. However, Black is getting some nice complementary run as a rookie, as he's logged 45 carries over his first six games. Black has just three targets in that same span, however, so his fantasy upside will remain capped to a large degree in a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

George Kittle

TE

Kittle was one of Brock Purdy's most effective targets on the night, finishing with the 49ers' second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals. The athletic tight end also was on the other end of Brock Purdy's one touchdown pass, recording an 11-yard scoring grab to cap off the opening possession of the night. Kittle has at least four receptions in five consecutive games and Monday night's receiving yardage total or higher in four of his first six contests of the season, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Brock Purdy

QB

Purdy took multiple sacks for the second straight game after not being taken down over the first four contests, but the veteran signal-caller otherwise had a mostly clean night that included a robust average of 9.1 yards per attempt. Purdy's passing yardage total also was his third highest of the campaign, and he kept his season-long touchdown-pass streak alive when he connected with George Kittle on an 11-yard scoring strike to cap off the opening drive of the night. Purdy completed passes to seven different targets overall, and he now boasts a 14:2 TD:INT heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Christian McCaffrey

RB

McCaffrey, who's been subject to a markedly lighter workload than usual over the first weeks of the campaign, recorded season highs in rush attempts, receptions, receiving yards and targets on a very busy night. The star running back also contributed his second multi-touchdown tally of the season, powering into the end zone on a pair of one-yard runs in the first half. McCaffrey logged twice as many carries and nine more targets than rookie backfield mate Kaelon Black, so there's no question who the leader of the ground attack is heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

Luke Gifford

LB

Gifford likely picked up the injury at some point during the first half of Monday's game. He was working in an elevated role defensively due to the absences of Dre Greenlaw (suspension) and Garret Wallow (hamstring), so Tatum Bethune should see a larger workload on defense for as long as Gifford is out of the game.

Mykel Williams

DE

Williams was activated from IR on Oct. 10 and played in the 49ers' Week 5 win over the Seahawks. The defensive end will suit up for Monday night's game as he works through the final stages of his recovery from ACL surgery in mid-November 2025.

Siran Neal

Gracen Halton

DT

Christian Kirk

WR

After having his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Kirk looked to have a realistic chance at returning from injured reserve in Week 6, especially in light of the depleted state of the 49ers receiving corps. However, with Kirk managing only limited participation from Thursday through Saturday, the 49ers will give him at least one more week to increase his practice activity before potentially bringing him back from IR. San Francisco will have Mike Evans (ribs/Achilles) -- if active -- along with Brandin Cooks, Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins and Malik Turner as its options at receiver Monday.

James Thompson Jr.

DT

Thompson hasn't played since Week 2 against the Dolphins after playing 35 percent of the defensive snaps across the first two weeks of the season. He'll slide back into his depth role along the defensive line behind Osa Odighizuwa and Naquan Jones.
