VideoWeek 8 Waiver Wire - Prioritize Rookie WRsOctober 27, 2026

From the video

If the Mike Evans injury lingers along with missing every other wide receiver on the team, I think it's going to be a huge CMC week again, especially with wide receivers being down

CMC set for heavy usage with depleted WR group; capped at ~30 touches

With Mike Evans injured and multiple wide receivers down, Christian McCaffrey is expected to see heavy usage and receiving work. However, the 49ers don't want to give him 30 touches per game, as evidenced in week one, which creates opportunities for backup Kaylin Black to see 8–10 touches in certain game environments depending on game flow.
