One starter that leaps out right away is totallyfree security George Odum, who’s in there as a fill-in for Jimmie Ward who’s on IR with a hamstring injury. He’ll missouton at least the veryfirst 4 weeks, however we’ve not consistedof Odum in our list consideringthat his play won’t determine whether he’s beginning. Ward will come back and start at the complimentary security area even if Odum plays like an All-Pro through the veryfirst handful of videogames.
A multitude of other names dive out though when it comes to gamers who may be changed throughout the routine season.

Look. This would be a dreadful result for the 49ers which is why head coach Kyle Shanahan is going to hold off as long as humanly possible on making any modifications under . However, the door opened when Jimmy Garoppolo strolled back through it into the 49ers’ center. Ideally Lance will start all 17 videogames, and he’d have to be an straight-out catastrophe to get benched. That definitely wasn’t even on the table when it was Nate Sudfeld and Brock Purdy support him up, however it is now that Garoppolo is sitting at No. 2 on the depth chart.

Jennings figures to be the No. 3 in three-receiver sets though which the 49ers rolled with almost half the time last year. His elite stopping will offer him some space for errors as a pass catcher, however it’s not out of the world of possibilities that one of either Danny Gray or Ray-Ray McCloud show to be a more explosive playmaker and cut into Jennings’ work. If Jennings can choice up where he left off last season though his area oughtto be safe.

His beginning area isn’t irreversible though because he’s yet to play a routine season NFL breeze.
