In the upcoming 49ers‑Falcons clash on Oct. 25, San Francisco deals a first‑season blow by sitting Mike Evans, drafting Brandin Cooks and Jordan Watkins to the outside and likely slotting Christian Kirk with Jacob Cowing as a backup. The article recalls last season’s meeting, where Christian McCaffrey rushed for 129 yards and caught seven passes, while George Kittle was ignored. With the 49ers having scored just 20 points then, the preview predicts a high‑scoring game and trusts Brock Purdy and coach Kyle Shanahan to put up points against Atlanta’s defense.

The Falcoholic’s Week 7 thread warns that the Falcons’ season is already slipping after back‑to‑back losses to the Ravens and Bears and a daunting upcoming slate that includes the 49ers, Bengals, Vikings and Chiefs. With the 49ers sitting undefeated and possibly atop the NFC, a win could reignite Atlanta’s playoff hopes, but another defeat may seal another losing season. Fans are invited to discuss the game and rally behind the Falcons.
Risacher still hasn't lived up to the hype as a three-point shooting threat in the NBA, including his time as a Dallas Maverick.
Danny Young returns to the Atlanta Braves in 2026 after two seasons with the Mets and a 2025 Tommy John surgery. Projected as a depth left‑handed reliever, he logs a career‑high 12⅓ innings across 16 games but posts a dismal 1.91 ERA, 1.86 FIP and a –0.5 fWAR, prompting an August DFA and demotion to the minors. While his first 12 outings include a few lucky outs and three July shutdowns, his late‑season stretch sees nine runs in 3⅔ innings and a poor 7/5 K/BB ratio. The Braves retain him on a split‑year, league‑minimum deal, leaving his future roster spot uncertain.
The 49ers have announced seven inactives for Week 7 against the Falcons, including Nick Bosa, Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel, while Christian Kirk returns.
Baltimore Beatdown’s Week 7 preview predicts a narrow loss for the Ravens against the Bengals as backup QB Tyler Huntley replaces Lamar Jackson. Analysts cite a struggling offensive line, a tough fight with defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, and the need for a strong X‑factor—whether it’s Ja’Kobi Lane’s contested catches, Cam Jurgens’ debut, Keondre Jackson’s defensive play, or Trey Hendrickson’s pass rush. While the defense must force turnovers and limit Joe Burrow’s air attack, most predictions favor Cincinnati (24‑17, 27‑16, or 27‑21).

Aaron Wiggins has been a phenomenal bench addition three games into the new Atlanta Hawks season.
The San Francisco 49ers head to Atlanta for Week 7 of the 2026 NFL season without star receivers Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel. Evans is out with a confirmed Achilles injury (and a lingering rib issue) after playing all six games, while Samuel misses the game due to a hamstring strain suffered in Week 5 and is expected to be sidelined for several weeks.
