The San Francisco 49ers added two wide receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings, which puts Richie James’ spot on the roster in peril.
It seems like every time San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Richie James gets the ball in his hands, a big play happens.
After all, James’ 27.5 yards-per-reception average in 2019 would have ranked second best among all pass catchers with at least five receptions a year ago.
But therein lies the problem: James has been scantly used on offense.
