Brandon Allen - Middling results in spot-start Allen completed 17 of 29 pass attempts for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing twice for five yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's blowout loss to Green Ba...
Impact Allen was asked to step in for injured starter Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, and the results were on track for a backup quarterback playing in a hostile environment against a contending franchise. The 32-year-old Allen had the offense scoring just one touchdown while being responsible for two turnovers on the day. It sounds like Purdy's injury may only cost the star quarterback this one game, which would push Allen back to the No. 2 role when San Francisco visits Buffalo next Sunday.

Jauan Jennings - Gains 40 yards with backup QB Jennings caught five of seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.
Impact The 49ers were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, limiting the potential of all skill position players not named George Kittle in a blowout loss to Green Bay. Jennings actually led all wideouts with his modest production, but it still left much to be desired based on his increased production in 2024. The four-year veteran will carry a 47-628-4 receiving line into next Sunday's road tilt against the Bills.

Deebo Samuel Sr. - Struggles continue with backup QB Samuel had just one reception for 21 yards off of four targets in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Packers.
Impact Samuel was already in a mid-season slump entering Sunday's loss, but a backup quarterback under center only made a bounce-back effort nearly impossible. The dual-threat superstar also failed to record a rushing attempt for the first time in a full game this season. Samuel has under-performed this season with just 590 combined yards and two total touchdowns through 10 games. Brock Purdy's (shoulder) potential return in Week 13 would boost Samuel's projections heading into a tough road matchup in Buffalo next Sunday.

Christian McCaffrey - Struggles sans star QB McCaffrey rushed 11 times for 31 yards (one fumble) while catching three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay.
Impact The 49ers were without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) on Sunday, which afforded the opposition to key in on McCaffrey's 14 touches. The 28-year-old also coughed up his first fumble of the campaign, adding insult to injury for his fantasy managers' box scores. Purdy's injury isn't considered serious, which bodes well for his availability and McCaffrey's point potential on the road against the Bills next Sunday.

Aaron Banks - Concussed in Week 12 loss Banks suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Impact He'll now have to pass through the league's concussion protocol if he wants a chance to play next Sunday against Buffalo. Spencer Burford would presumably get the start against the Bills if Banks can't gain clearance over the next week.

George Kittle - Returns with authority Kittle (hamstring) caught all six of his targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to Green Bay.
Impact Kittle returned from a one-game absence to find his quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) missing in action. The 31-year-old Kittle made the most of his opportunities Sunday, producing his second three-game scoring streak this season. The star tight end is up to 49 receptions for 642 yards and eight touchdowns over nine active games. Kittle would benefit greatly from the return of Purdy should the signal-caller heal up ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Bills.

Impact Williams sat out all three of the 49ers' Week 12 practices with a sore ankle, but assuming he's able to make it through a pregame workout without incident, he'll fill his usual duties as the team's starting left tackle. Official word on Williams' status will arrive when the 49ers post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
