Connor Colby is the 49ers' starting left guard in the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on 2026-09-10. Scored off the official starting lineup for that game: Colby listed at left guard is a hit, any other player listed at left guard is a miss, including if Colby is unavailable through injury.

Kaelon Black is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced at the August 30, 2026 mandatory cut. Scored off the initial 53 only: the practice squad is a miss, a later signing or elevation after the initial roster is a miss, and being placed on injured reserve from the initial 53 counts as a hit.

On 2026-09-10, at least three of the wide receivers on San Francisco's active roster are men the 49ers' own roster page lists at age 30 or older. Method, fixed in advance: read 49ers.com/team/players-roster on 2026-09-10, count the players listed at position WR on the active roster, and use the age the club's page states for each. Players on injured reserve, the practice squad or any reserve list do not count.

On or before 2026-08-09, San Francisco signs at least one more defensive lineman or edge rusher who is not on its roster as of 2026-08-02. Method, fixed in advance: read the official transaction log at 49ers.com on 2026-08-09 and count signings at position DL or LB of any player absent from the roster page counted on 2026-08-02. Practice-squad signings do not count, because there is no practice squad until after the August 30 cutdown. A player re-signed after being waived counts.

Deebo Samuel Sr. is credited with at least one kickoff return for the 49ers in their Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on 2026-09-10. Method, fixed in advance: the kickoff return column of the NFL's official gamebook for that game. Punt returns do not count. A return credited to any other player does not count.

Connor Colby is listed as San Francisco's starting left guard in the official starting lineup of the 49ers' Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on 2026-09-10. If Robert Jones, Carver Willis, Brett Toth or anybody else starts there, the take is scored wrong.

Kion Smith is NOT on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced by the club on 2026-08-30. If he is on that roster, the take is scored wrong. Being waived and re-signed to the practice squad does not count as being on the initial 53; the scoring document is the club's announced initial 53-man roster and nothing else.

Gracen Halton is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced by the club on 2026-08-30. If he is not on that roster, the take is scored wrong. A practice-squad signing after a waiver does not count.

San Francisco signs at least one of Doug Kramer, Joe Michalski or Lecitus Smith to its 90-man roster on or before 2026-08-12. Scored off the club's own transaction log at 49ers.com, with ESPN's 49ers transaction log as the second feed. A practice-squad agreement does not count, because there is no practice squad until after the August 30 cutdown; the claim is a signing to the active 90.

Between 2026-08-11 and 2026-08-29 inclusive, EVERY San Francisco 49ers addition to the 90-man roster is announced together with at least one corresponding subtraction in the same club announcement. Scored off the club's own transaction log at 49ers.com, entry by entry. The take is WRONG if any single dated entry in that window adds one or more players without removing at least one in the same entry. Placements on injured reserve or the physically-unable-to-perform list count as subtractions when they appear in the same entry as a signing, and do NOT count when they appear on their own date. The August 30 cutdown itself is outside the window and does not score.

Robert Jones, not Connor Colby, takes the first offensive snap at left guard for the San Francisco 49ers in their preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans on 2026-08-13. Scored off the official game book's starting offensive lineup, with the first-drive participation reported by the beat as the second source. The take is WRONG if Colby, Carver Willis, Brett Toth or anyone else opens the game at left guard, and it is WRONG if Jones opens the game at any position other than left guard. If San Francisco does not play the game on August 13, the take voids rather than scores.

Demarcus Robinson is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster on 2026-08-30. The take is WRONG if he is waived, released, traded, or placed on any reserve list that removes him from the initial 53, and it is WRONG if he reaches the initial 53 only by way of a practice squad agreement. It is CORRECT only if he is on the active 53 the club submits.

Corliss Waitman is the San Francisco 49ers' punter in Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. The take is CORRECT if he is on the active roster and is the club's punter for that game. It is WRONG if any other player punts for San Francisco in Week 1, and it is WRONG if Waitman is waived, released, traded, or placed on a reserve list before it.

Xavier Thomas takes at least one snap for the San Francisco 49ers against Tennessee on August 13, 2026. The take is CORRECT if he appears anywhere in the game's participation record. It is WRONG if he does not play, and it is WRONG if he is on injured reserve or off the roster at kickoff.

None of the three defensive backs San Francisco worked out on August 14, 2026, Bryce Hall, Troy Pride Jr. and Corey Mayfield Jr., signs with the 49ers on or before August 20, 2026. The take is CORRECT if the club's transaction log carries no signing of any of the three by the end of August 20. It is WRONG if any one of them is signed in that window, whatever the corresponding move is.

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.

Carver Willis is listed as San Francisco's starting LEFT guard 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 starting offensive line has Willis at left guard. It is WRONG if it names Connor Colby, Robert Jones or anybody else there, and WRONG if Willis does not appear in the game at all. The no-show risk is mine and it is stated here rather than argued afterwards.

Brett Toth is NOT on San Francisco's initial 53-man roster after the August 30, 2026 cutdown. The take is CORRECT if his name is absent from the club's published initial 53, including the cases where he is waived, released, waived/injured, placed on injured reserve, or reaches an injury settlement. It is WRONG if the club's published initial 53 contains his name, whatever his health designation.

In San Francisco's Week 1 game against the Rams on September 10, 2026, Jack Jones plays MORE defensive snaps than Nate Hobbs. A player absent from the game book's Playtime Percentage page counts as zero, whether he is inactive, on injured reserve, or no longer on the roster. The take is CORRECT only if Jones's defensive snap count is strictly greater than Hobbs's. It is WRONG if Hobbs's is equal to or greater than Jones's, and that includes the case where both are zero.

In San Francisco's preseason finale at Las Vegas on August 27, 2026, Nick Zakelj plays MORE offensive snaps than Carver Willis. A player absent from the game book's Playtime Percentage page counts as zero, whether he is inactive, injured, or no longer on the roster. The take is CORRECT only if Zakelj's offensive snap count is strictly greater than Willis's. It is WRONG if Willis's is equal to or greater than Zakelj's, and that includes the case where both are zero.

George Kittle plays at least one offensive snap in at least one of the 49ers' FIRST FOUR regular-season games of 2026 (the Rams in Melbourne on September 10, then Miami, Arizona and Denver). Zero offensive snaps across all four grades this WRONG.

Jacob Cowing is on the 49ers' initial 53-man roster announced on August 30, 2026.

Nick Martin is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster announced at the August 30, 2026 cutdown. The take is WRONG if he is waived, released, traded, or placed on injured reserve or reserve/PUP before that roster is submitted, and WRONG if his name is absent from it for any other reason.

San Francisco does NOT publicly identify a Week 1 starting left guard before the team departs for Australia on September 2, 2026. Public identification means either a 49ers coach naming the starter on the record at a media availability, or the club publishing an official depth chart that lists one man first at left guard. If either happens on or before the end of September 2 Pacific time, this is WRONG. If neither has happened, this is RIGHT.

Nate Hobbs is on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced at the August 30, 2026 cutdown. Scored off the club's announced initial 53-man roster and nothing else. The practice squad is not the 53, and a signing, claim or elevation after the initial roster is announced is not the 53. A player placed on injured reserve FROM the initial 53 counts as having made it, per the Kaelon Black precedent of 2026-07-29.

Ashtyn Davis is NOT on the San Francisco 49ers' initial 53-man roster as announced at the August 30, 2026 cutdown. If his name is on that roster, this is WRONG. Scored off the club's announced initial 53-man roster and nothing else. The practice squad is not the 53, and a signing, claim or elevation after the initial roster is announced is not the 53. A player placed on injured reserve FROM the initial 53 counts as having made it, per the Kaelon Black precedent of 2026-07-29.

Jalen Stroman is on the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad as the club first publishes it after the August 30, 2026 cutdown. The take is WRONG if another club claims him on waivers, if he signs elsewhere, or if his name is absent from San Francisco's first published practice squad for any other reason. Being on the initial 53 instead would also grade this WRONG. This is a claim about the practice squad and not about the 53; the separate August 29 call about the initial 53-man roster is a different row and this does not restate it.

Jon Weeks is on the San Francisco 49ers' ACTIVE roster, not its practice squad, for the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, 2026. The take is WRONG if he appears in that game as a standard practice-squad elevation rather than as an active-roster player, WRONG if a different long snapper is on the active roster in his place, and WRONG if he is not with the organisation at all. This is a claim about which list he is on, not about whether he plays.

Jarrett Patterson is NOT San Francisco's starting left guard in its Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, 2026. The take is CORRECT if the official game book's lineup card names anybody other than Patterson at left guard, and WRONG if it names Patterson there.

Sam Okuayinonu records ZERO defensive snaps in San Francisco's Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams on September 10, 2026. Scored off the official game book's Playtime Percentage page. The take is CORRECT if his defensive snap count is zero or he does not appear on that page at all. It is WRONG if he records one or more defensive snaps. Special teams snaps do not count either way.
