5 49ers to watch vs. Commanders in Week 17

We pick five 49ers to watch for Sunday’s showdown with the Commanders.

The Washington Commanders (4-11) host the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) Sunday in what will be Trent Williams and Chase Young’s first trip back to FedEx Field since both players were traded.

Williams is in his fourth season with the 49ers, while Young was traded to San Francisco on Oct. 31.

San Francisco has a deep and loaded roster, with multiple elite players at critical positions. As we preview Sunday’s game, we look at five 49ers to watch in Week 17.
