2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mustapha turned out to be a steal in the fourth round of last year's draft after posting 72 tackles and one interception among five pass defenses across 16 games as a rookie. The Wake Forest product took over a vacant safety position for San Francisco that was marred by injury in 2024, running away with the job by providing consistent and physical play alongside Ji'Ayir Brown. The young safety duo will run things back this season as the head of the 49ers' athletic secondary. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.76 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2024.
On PUP to begin camp
Mustapha (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the 49ers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Mustapha is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 17 of the 2024 season. He could miss the start of the new campaign as a result, though that hasn't been determined yet, as he can be activated from the active/PUP list at any point during the preseason. Mustapha figures to occupy a starting safety role when he is able to get back on the field.
