An interesting decision at wide receiver looms for the 49ers: Jordan Watkins or KhaDarel Hodge?
I think top five spots are set with Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, De'Zhaun Stribling, Demarcus Robinson and punt returner Jacob Cowing.
Hodge's special-teams value is the case for him.

- Think we need to bring some perspective to this De'Zhaun Stribling injury. Two things: -It wasn't a season-ender that had been initially feared. That's huge for SF -The 49ers annihilated the Rams even without Stribling. That suggests they have enough WR depth to survive Is the situation at WR now significantly more precarious and is losing such a promising rookie for about 10 weeks rough? Of course. But it's also football and this is why the 49ers have worked hard to deepen their WR room. Mike Evans' presence is the true game changer this year. Demarcus Robinson is as solid as depth pieces come, and Deebo's addition helps pick up a lot of slack in situations like these. Two potential aces in the hole that can help the 49ers get through this are Jordan Watkins and Christian Kirk, who's eligible to return Week 5. Jacob Cowing might also get a shot on offense at some point. But above all else, the biggest 49ers' ace in the hole is that they have Brock Purdy — a QB who's managed to…
