49ers depth chart: Wide receiver group full of potential and question marks

The San Francisco 49ers could have a very productive receiving corps this year if a few players step up.

There was a three-year stretch from 2015-17 where Benjamin was a very productive player. In that span, he caught 149 of 262 targets for 2,210 yards and 13 touchdowns. Injuries have kept him from regaining that form though, and his last two seasons have produced just 18 catches, 216 yards and one touchdown in 17 games. He could conceivably fill the field-stretching role previously occupied by Marquise Goodwin, and his prior experience in Shanahan’s offense should help him in a truncated offseason. Benjamin will need to both stay healthy and offer more than just a vertical field-stretching threat to earn a roster spot.
