George Kittle seems to be the favorite to be the 49ers’ MVP in 2021, but there are some other players who could end up being the team’s best.

If it fully functions on all cylinders, the San Francisco 49ers‘ 2021 offense could be prolific.

This is predicated, of course, on the health of the team, which wasn’t a favorable factor last season. The Niners lost quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, tight end George Kittle, running back Raheem Mostert and wide receiver Deebo Samuel for extensive periods of time, so it’s no surprise head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad finished 21st in scoring a year ago.
