49ers Week 8 outlook

San Francisco sits 6-1 atop the NFC West after a loss at Atlanta dropped them to a one-game skid, their first of the season. The offense has still scored 197 points against 139 allowed, and a wild 32-29 win at Seattle two weeks ago shows this group can win track meets as well as grind out defensive battles. A home game against the Raiders in Week 9 should offer a chance to reset after back-to-back defeats to Atlanta and Washington.

The receiving corps is banged up. Deebo Samuel Sr. is out with a hamstring injury and Mike Evans is out with a rib issue, which clears targets for whoever steps into the lineup. Christian Kirk is questionable with a calf problem, so his status bears watching before fantasy lineups lock. The defense is also thin at linebacker and safety, with Garret Wallow, Luke Gifford and Marques Sigle all out, which could open rushing lanes for Las Vegas to attack.

With no market line listed yet for this matchup, the emphasis falls on health. If Kirk can't go and the receiver shortage continues, San Francisco's passing attack will lean harder on its remaining pieces, and fantasy managers should track final injury designations closely before kickoff.
