3. Pierre Garcon

This one is the hardest to predict, there’s no play to base my predictions off of since Pierre Garcon was put on injured reserve before Jimmy Garoppolo took over the reins.

There was plenty to like though, with quarterback play that was definitely not as potent, he still recorded 40 catches for 500 yards in only eight games.

So Garcon still had major production, the only question is will he develop chemistry with Garoppolo.

With the exception of Trent Taylor on one of his beautiful slant routes, Garcon has the best route-running skills on the 49ers roster. With that, I expect Garoppolo to shoot some accurate lasers to him as he seeks to have a more complete season than the last one.

Season Prediction: 75 catches for 875 yards and 10 touchdowns
