Jordan Watkins is seizing his moment—after a brutal rookie year sidelined by injury, he’s got a golden chance this preseason to prove he belongs. With key veterans like Mike Evans and Christian Kirk hurt, and Deebo Samuel still rehabbing, the 49ers’ WR room is wide open. Rookie De’Zhaun Stribling’s injury and Jacob Cowing’s status create even more snaps for Watkins. While veterans Demarcus Robinson and Khadarel Hodge get reps, they’re locked into roles. Junior Bergen is the only other real contender—but Watkins could steal the spotlight as a slot threat and even snag punt return duties. If he dominates, he might not just make the roster—he could push Kirk out of the picture and lock down a fourth-receiver role.
