WR2: Pierre Garcon

Pierre Garcon is on the older side at the receiver position at 32 years old, but he is still as tough as receivers come.

Last year, he was on track for a 1,000-yard season before being shut down for the rest of the year with a neck injury halfway through 2017.

And that was with Brian Hoyer and C.J. Beathard at quarterback.

Now, I don’t believe Garcon will be as productive this season, because Garoppolo has such good chemistry with Goodwin. But Garcon should still be a productive possession receiver who will come in clutch when he is most needed.
