Even with the loss of Brandon Aiyuk, the San Francisco 49ers have a ton of talent at wide receiver. Now the talent needs to produce more consistently.
The 49ers have the week off, so let's grade them position by position based solely on what they've done this season. So far, we've gradedBrandon Aiyuk was supposed to be the no. 1 wide receiver, but he had just 25 catches and 0 touchdowns in 7 games before going down with a torn ACL and MCL. He clearly was rusty after missing the entire offseason due to a contract dispute. Now he will miss next offseason as he rehabs from a devastating knee injury.
Jauan Jennings has emerged as a solid no. 2 receiver who can replace Brandon Aiyuk in the starting lineup -- Jennings is averaging 16.2 yards per catch and he has three touchdowns despite missing the past two games with a hip injury. Jacob Cowing is averaging 25 yards per catch. Granted, he has just two catches. Still, he's dangerous and deserves more playing time.
