The depth chart is always shuffling around in San Francisco, and this offseason was no different. They traded Matt Breida as they will get Jerick McKinnon back from injury to give them their three backs to rotate. Raheem Mostert and Tevin Coleman are the other two. The receiving core needed to be upgraded and after hitting on Deebo Samuel last season, they drafted Brandon Aiyuk as another big yards after catch type wideout. The WR3 role is going to be up for grabs and this was never settled in 2019. It isn't a big deal as George Kittle is their best-receiving threat anyway. After trading DeForest Buckner, the 49ers will replace him as a starting defensive tackle with newly drafted Javon Kinlaw.

San Francisco 49ers Depth Chart FAQ
A quarter away from a Super Bowl, the San Francisco 49ers will return most of the same names. The running back situation has been a horror show for fantasy football as they use a heavy committee, which might get even bigger if Jerick McKinnon is healthy. San Francisco needed to add some wide receivers, and they drafted Brandon Aiyuk. They look comfortable with the depth they have there. This was also a stellar defense, and they got a lot of excellent play out of some of the older names like Richard Sherman.

Who Are The 49ers Running Backs?
The 49ers running backs are made up of Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman, and Jerick McKinnon. Mostert and Coleman will handle most of the workload. McKinnon has been out the last two seasons with an injury.
Who Backs Up Jimmy Garoppolo?
Nick Mullens is the backup to Jimmy Garoppolo. We saw a bit of Mullens when Garoppolo tore his ACL in 2018. Mullens played well and caught the eye of a few teams who have called for his services.
Who Is The Best 49ers Wide Receiver For Fantasy?
Given the position is a bit thin, Deebo Samuel is the top fantasy football receiver for the San Francisco 49ers. With George Kittle being the main option on a run-heavy offense, the names after Samuel won't have much to offer.
What Position Does George Kittle Play?
George Kittle plays tight end for the San Francisco 49ers. Kittle is viewed as one of the best tight ends in football. He is a great receiving threat, but his run blocking is what sets him apart from the rest of the position.
Do The 49ers Start Any Rookies?
The 49ers will start Brandon Aiyuk and Javon Kinlaw this season. Both were drafted in the first two picks for the 49ers. After trading DeForest Buckner, they had a need for a defensive tackle, which is where Kinlaw fits in.
Who Are The 49ers Starting Cornerbacks?
K’Waun Williams, Ahkello Witherspoon, and Richard Sherman are the three starting cornerbacks for the San Francisco 49ers. They also have some strong depth with Jason Verrett and Dontae Johnson. This secondary was one of the best in 2019.
