Cardinals player to watch

TE Trey McBride should be back in the starting lineup after missing last week's game due to a concussion. McBride is another prime option for Kyler Murray and gives the 49ers defense someone else to worry about besides star rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. McBride caught 14 passes for 122 yards in the first three games of this season after catching 81 balls last year. That was a franchise record for a tight end.

49ers player to keep an eye on

RB Jordan Mason had a career-high 160 yards rushing last week and ran for at least 100 yards in three of four games as a replacement for the injured Christian McCaffrey. Mason's 447 yards rushing are the second-most in franchise history through the first four games of a season and the third-most by an undrafted player.

Key match

Cardinals pass D against 49ers QB Brock Purdy. The Arizona native has picked apart the Cardinals in three career starts. Purdy has completed 51 of 66 passes for 703 yards, eight touchdowns, no INTs and a passer rating of 150.4 in those three wins. The Cardinals have allowed a passer rating of 110.4 this season, third-worst in the NFL.

Fantasy tip

WR Jauan Jennings has transformed from a little-used third receiver into a top option in San Francisco's passing game. He has shown the ability to get deep and make chain-moving catches on third down. Jennings has 14 catches for 263 yards over the last two weeks and is fourth in the NFL with 364 yards receiving.
