SF 49ers: 5 best players over the first half of the season

The SF 49ers’ 2020 season hasn’t gone as planned, but there are some players who have shined brightly amid all the uncertainty.

The SF 49ers current find themselves in last place in the NFC West having started the season at 4-5 after a Thursday Night Football dismantling at the hands of the Green Bay Packers to kick off Week 9.

This isn’t your stereotypical first-to-worst fall from grace, as injuries have demolished the 2020 SF 49ers into a shadow of the team that played in the Super Bowl just nine months ago. And while they are not technically out of the playoff race, which includes a seventh team for the off-the-wall 2020 season, the end of this year is already starting to feel like a war of attrition.

But it doesn’t mean that it’s been all doom and gloom for the SF 49ers, as there have been plenty of Niners players who have had strong seasons so far in 2020, and some are even proving themselves to be among the best in the league at their respective positions.

So in an effort to look past some of the negatives that have been swirling around the team throughout much of the year so far, let’s take a look at five of the best players for the SF 49ers through the halfway point of the season.
