Cardinals player to watch TE Trey McBride should be back in the starting lineup after missing last week's game in concussion protocol. McBride is another top-shelf option for Kyler Murray, giving the 49ers defense somebody else to worry about on top of star rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. McBride caught 14 passes for 122 yards in the first three games this season after catching 81 balls last year, which was a franchise record for a tight end.

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

Purdy has completed 51 of 66 passes for 703 yards, eight TDs, no INTs and a 150.4 passer rating in those three wins. The Cardinals have allowed a 110.4 passer rating this season, third worst in the NFL.
