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

Mustapha logged four tackles (one solo) and an interception during San Francisco's win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Mustapha managed to force his first turnover of the season when he picked off Jacoby Brissett late in the second quarter of the victory. The 23-year-old was sidelined for the first five weeks of the season with a knee injury but has gotten off to a strong start since making his return, recording 36 tackles (18 solo) and an interception across six outings.
