49ers stock reports following Week 15 victory over the Titans

Wide Receiver Marquise Goodwin
Speedy wide receiver Marquise Goodwin continued to be one of the primary beneficiaries of San Francisco’s switch to Jimmy Garoppolo.
Goodwin has had a trying few weeks off the field, first losing his son to pregnancy complications and then his father earlier last week. And yet the 27 year old continues to make big plays on the field when called upon.
He had 114 receiving yards on a career-high 10 receptions, which marked the second consecutive game he crested the 100-yard plateau. He’s now on pace to finish 2017 with 1,025.6 receiving yards, which would make Goodwin the first 49ers receiver to reach this point since Anquan Boldin did it back in 2014.
“He’s just a hard worker,” Garoppolo said after the game, via Nick Wagoner of ESPN. “You really got to tip your hat to that. The extra time that we put in — not even just with him, but with all the skill position players — the extra meetings we have, the stuff in practice, the extra routes, it’s starting to pay off now.”
Yes, it’s paying off nicely.
