There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding the San Francisco 49ers and how they handle their wide receiver situation heading into 2020.
En route to Super Bowl LIV, head coach Kyle Shanahan entrusted his wide receiver duties essentially to three receivers: Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel and Kendrick Bourne. Now, Sanders is poised to command good money in free agency. Bourne is a restricted free agent and is likely to return, while Samuel is a rising star.
Still, there are plenty of doubts lower on the depth chart. Third-year pro Dante Pettis fell out of Shanahan’s favor quickly last season, and wideouts Trent Taylor and Jalen Hurd both spent 2019 on injured reserve.
