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.
Season-high stops in Week 8 loss
Mustapha made 12 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Mustapha played a season-high 100 percent of defensive snaps in Week 8, after having made his debut Week 6 then having his workload jump Week 7. The second-year pro appears to have solidified himself as an every-down player as the 49ers prepare for a Week 9 road matchup against the Giants. That development puts him firmly on the fantasy radar in IDP formats.
