Wide Receiver Dres Anderson

Second-year wideout Dres Anderson probably should have been on the 49ers’ 53-man roster to start the season.

After all, he hauled in a nice 30-yard touchdown pass against the Denver Broncos two weeks ago and made a very physical grab against the San Diego Chargers, which helped set up a touchdown in the final week of preseason action.

Nonetheless, Anderson finds his way onto the Niners’ practice squad to start the season.

Anderson spent 2015 on injured reserve and didn’t see action. Perhaps the 49ers would like the developing talent to hone his skills a bit before taking part in on-field action.

He should be a strong candidate for promotion to the 53-man roster if San Francisco winds up suffering from a lack of contribution from this position.
