From the episode

The 49ers are running out of pass catchers, and of the ones who are remaining, who have gotten run, no one's really stepped up. Mike Evans left that game in the late second quarter with an Achilles injury. If Evans misses time, give Christian Kirk a look. His practice window recently opened after being on IR, but he wasn't able to suit up in week 6. If he's ready to return soon, he could be walking into an offense that really needs someone to emerge.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Kirk returns soon to 49ers needing WR help after Evans' Achilles injury.

Christian Kirk's practice window recently opened after being on IR, but he was unable to suit up in week 6. JJ Zachariason notes that the 49ers are running out of healthy pass catchers and none of the remaining options have stepped up; with Mike Evans now sidelined with an Achilles injury, Kirk could be walking into an offense that desperately needs someone to emerge. Zachariason recommends a "vibes-based approach" to Kirk given how little the 49ers' healthy wide receivers have produced.
