With the 2018 NFL season less than 100 days away, Niner Noise takes a shot at predicting the stats for three key San Francisco 49ers offensive players — quarterback, running back and wide receiver.

The San Francisco 49ers‘ 2018 campaign is getting closer, so that means its prediction time.

I take a look at the projected starters at each position (choosing the No. 1 wide receiver) and predict the seasons I think each are capable of having, following up with a small breakdown as to how it’s possible.

I factored in the seasons each player had in 2017, the roles they now have in 2018, the offensive scheme of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and how they will be utilized within said scheme.

Now let’s get to it and find out what type of seasons these three players are going to have in 2018.
