Can 49ers count on much from Rod Streater, Jeremy Kerley?

The 49ers acquired the two receivers via trade last week. Both will likely see significant opportunities in Chip Kelly’s offense.

The San Francisco 49ers made a pair of trades over the final week of the preseason, adding wide receivers to their depleted depth chart. The team traded Brandon Thomas to the Detroit Lions for Jeremy Kerley, and later added Rod Streater from the Kansas City Chiefs in a deal that involved swapping 2019 conditional seventh round draft picks.

Kerley is expected to compete for slot work, while Streater at 6’2 is the team’s tallest receiver and will likely get more work outside.
