On the record
Called Shots →Alfred Collins is listed among San Francisco's defensive starters in the official game book for the August 20, 2026 preseason game at the Los Angeles Chargers. The take is CORRECT if the game book's defensive starting lineup contains his name. It is WRONG if it does not, including the case where San Francisco rests him or he does not appear in the game at all. The no-show risk is mine and it is stated here rather than argued afterwards.
Kalshi's daily closing quote on the San Francisco Super Bowl contract KXSB-27-SF will read 4 cents bid and 5 cents ask on EVERY one of the 19 daily closes from 2026-08-28 through 2026-09-15 inclusive. That window contains the NFL cut from 90 players to 53 at 6 p.m. Eastern on August 30, waiver settlement on August 31, and San Francisco's Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on September 10. Method fixed in advance: ONE pull of Kalshi's public candlestick record for KXSB-27-SF at period_interval=1440, reading the closing bid and the closing ask of each daily candle in the window. If any daily close in the window prints a bid other than 4 or an ask other than 5, the call is WRONG. If all 19 print 4 bid and 5 ask, the call is RIGHT. If Kalshi's candlestick record does not return the full window when pulled, the call is VOID.
C.J. West plays MORE defensive snaps than Gracen Halton in San Francisco's Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, 2026. A tie grades this WRONG. Scored off the official defensive snap counts published for that game; a player who is inactive or takes no defensive snap counts as zero.
George Kittle plays FEWER than 70 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps in its Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, 2026. Under 70.0 percent is CORRECT. Exactly 70.0 percent or more is WRONG. If he is inactive or records no offensive snap, zero is fewer than 70 percent and the take is CORRECT.
The San Francisco 49ers add at least one defensive lineman to their 53-man active roster between September 10 and September 19, 2026 inclusive, Pacific time. Any route counts: a free-agent signing, a promotion from the practice squad, a waiver claim, a trade, or an activation from a reserve list. A STANDARD PRACTICE-SQUAD ELEVATION DOES NOT COUNT, because an elevated player is not signed to the active roster and reverts after the game. The take is WRONG if no defensive lineman is added to the active roster in that window.
Gracen Halton plays more defensive snaps than C.J. West for San Francisco against Arizona on Sunday, September 27, 2026, measured by the defensive snap counts on the Playtime Percentage pages of that game's official NFL game book. Halton's count strictly greater than West's grades RIGHT. Equal counts, or West's greater, grade WRONG. If Halton does not play and West does, WRONG; if West does not play and Halton does, RIGHT; if neither plays, VOID.
The San Francisco 49ers acquire at least one interior defensive lineman by trade between Oct. 9, 2026 and the trade deadline at 4 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 10, 2026. Interior means a player the 49ers' announcement or his former club's roster lists as a defensive tackle or nose tackle, or a defensive lineman who played primarily inside for his former club this season. A free-agent or practice-squad signing does not count; an edge rusher acquired by trade does not count. WRONG if no such trade is completed by the deadline.
The San Francisco 49ers record three or more sacks against the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi's Stadium on November 8, 2026, counted as the Raiders' 'Times thrown' figure on the Final Team Statistics page of the official NFL game book. CORRECT if the figure is 3 or more. WRONG if it is 0, 1 or 2. If the game is not played on that date, the take resolves on the rescheduled game.
Written about him
Gracen Halton needs ankle surgery, and both outside corners are day-to-day
Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Gracen Halton dislocated and fractured his ankle, will have surgery this week and will go on injured reserve. Renardo Green (back) and Deommodore Lenoir (foot) are day-to-day before Sunday's game at Dallas. C.J. West's practice window opens Wednesday, Deebo Samuel could practice Wednesday, and Mike Evans is not expected to.
Robinson and West could return after the bye to a 49ers 53 with no room
Kyle Shanahan named eight 49ers with a chance to return after the bye. Six are already on the 53-man roster. Two, wide receiver Demarcus Robinson and defensive lineman C.J. West, are on injured reserve, and each needs a roster spot that does not exist yet. The club's roster page on Thursday listed 53 active players, 14 on injured reserve, one on PUP and 17 on the practice squad. Of the six players released or waived from the 53 in October, four were defensive linemen, and three of those men are back on the practice squad.
Shanahan has lost six of his ten defensive linemen. Arizona gets the rest.
San Francisco (2-0) hosts Arizona (1-1) at 1:05 p.m. Pacific on FOX. The 49ers play without Nick Bosa, Romello Height, James Thompson Jr. and C.J. West, four of the nine defensive linemen who played against Miami, and Kyle Shanahan says six of the ten linemen who made the team have been lost in two weeks. Viliami Fehoko Jr. and Sebastian Valdez are in line for their NFL debuts. Mike Evans is questionable and Jordan Watkins is set for his season debut. Arizona lost 31-7 to Seattle last week and has put cornerback Will Johnson on injured reserve. Ten men to watch.
Nick Bosa hurt his calf warming up, and four linemen will miss Arizona
Nick Bosa hurt his calf in individual warmups before Thursday's practice and is out against Arizona. Kyle Shanahan said he will miss a few weeks. Romello Height, James Thompson Jr. and Demarcus Robinson are also out, and Mike Evans is questionable after practicing on a limited basis Friday. With C.J. West on injured reserve, four of the nine defensive linemen who played against Miami will not play Sunday. The club expects to make its injured-reserve decisions on Saturday.
Five defensive tackles made the 53, and two are still healthy
San Francisco put defensive tackle C.J. West on injured reserve before Wednesday's practice. He has a bone chip in his knee and needs surgery, and Kyle Shanahan said it is not season-ending. The club signed Naquan Jones to the 53 from Minnesota's practice squad, and signed Brandin Cooks and Viliami Fehoko Jr. to the practice squad. Mike Evans, Demarcus Robinson, James Thompson Jr. and Romello Height did not practice because of injuries. Shanahan said Height is still an outside chance to play Arizona on Sunday.
Miami ran 17 of its 19 first-half designed runs between the guards
Two days after the 35-13 win over Miami, the official game books show where opponents are running against San Francisco: 42 of 54 designed runs across two games went up the middle or over a guard, for 4.0 yards a carry. Miami sent 17 of its 19 first-half designed runs inside for 74 yards. Fox analyst Daryl Johnston said on the broadcast that Kyle Shanahan had flagged the between-the-tackles run defense as a concern. James Thompson Jr., who took 42 defensive snaps across the two games, has a high-ankle sprain, and Gracen Halton, who made his first career start Sunday, has out-snapped C.J. West 63 to 49.
Nobody San Francisco Added Thursday Plays Defensive Tackle
San Francisco placed DL Alfred Collins on injured reserve and activated WR KhaDarel Hodge and DL Ogbo Okoronkwo from its practice squad as standard elevations, all three moves in one release published at 1:53 p.m. Pacific on Thursday, three hours and forty-two minutes before the season opener against the Los Angeles Rams at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Hodge and Okoronkwo revert to the practice squad after the game, and a standard elevation is capped at three per player per season. Neither plays defensive tackle. The club's depth chart, stamped September 8 and labelled unofficial, lists four men at the two tackle spots: Osa Odighizuwa at 280 pounds and C.J. West at 316 on the left, Collins and then rookies Gracen Halton at 293 and James Thompson Jr. at 308 on the right. Thompson was Questionable with a hamstring, the only game designation San Francisco issued for the opener. The inactive lists resolved it: six San Francisco names, none of them a defensive lineman, and Thompson dresses. That leaves right defensive tackle to two rookies. The report the club distributed at 12:23 a.m. Pacific has Halton at full participation for the last Melbourne practice; the table on the club's own injury-report page, read at 2:51 p.m., still showed him limited and left his injury column blank. The practice squad holds three defensive linemen heavier than Okoronkwo's 253 pounds, including Kevin Givens, the man the club waived on August 5 to sign Hodge and Okoronkwo. Counted in a browser at 2:53 p.m. Pacific, the roster page carried 54 on Active, 12 on injured reserve, two on Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform and 15 on the practice squad, which puts 52 players on a roster that may hold 53. The Active table held eight defensive linemen. The transaction log still ended on September 5. One take filed.
Both Of The 49ers' Outside Cornerbacks Missed The Same Practice
The 49ers announced shoulder injuries for cornerback Deommodore Lenoir and rookie receiver De'Zhaun Stribling on Saturday, calling both day-to-day, and Renardo Green did not practice two days after the hamstring that took him out of the Chargers game. Jordan James practiced for the first time this camp, and Dominick Puni and C.J. West cleared the concussion protocol. Nick Bosa and Christian McCaffrey were not in a session Kyle Shanahan had described them as on track for. Eight days to the cutdown, and nothing crossed the line on the 53-man tracker.
The +305 On Your Screen Is Not The Price
Every 49ers futures price quoted this month carries the sportsbook's margin baked into it, and nobody removes it before printing. Here is how to remove it yourself, what it does to the 49ers number, and why the cheaper venue is the one most Bay Area readers have never opened.
