Predicting 49ers wide receiver depth chart with Marqise Lee

Wide receivers on 49ers offseason roster
Last season, injuries and COVID-19 devastated the Niners’ wide receiver room, forcing more than a handful of less-known pass-catchers into roles they weren’t ideally suited for.
Hopefully, San Francisco avoids the same pitfalls again in 2021, as the name recognition for many of the team’s current wideouts isn’t exactly noteworthy.
Current wide receivers on 49ers roster
- Brandon Aiyuk
- Travis Benjamin
- River Cracraft
- Jalen Hurd
- Richie James
- Jauan Jennings
- Marqise Lee
- Deebo Samuel
- Mohamed Sanu
- Trent Sherfield
- Austin Watkins
- Kevin White
The 49ers added only one rookie wideout during the offseason, UAB’s undrafted free agent, Austin Watkins.
While he’ll be a player to watch during training camp, there shouldn’t be any shortage of storylines surrounding this position between now and Week 1.
