PFF lists 49ers’ Deebo Samuel among receivers who will have bigger role next season

The San Francisco 49ers appear to be set at the wide receiver position heading into the 2021 NFL season. With Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk at the top of the depth chart, it will be interesting to see the plays head coach Kyle Shanahan dials up with a pair of YAC monsters on the field.

Samuel dealt with injury issues for much of the 2020 season. He only appeared in five games and finished with 33 receptions for 391 yards and a touchdown. Samuel had a very productive rookie season in 2019. He racked up 57 catches for 802 yards and three scores while adding 159 yards and three touchdowns as a runner.
