49ers route rates last week with Mike Evans (Achilles) sidelined for half the game: Jordan Watkins (91%), Brandin Cooks (47%) and Jacob Cowing (32%). Of course, Watkins only saw *one* target despite all those routes; Brock Purdy focused most of his attention on Christian McCaffrey (10 targets) and George Kittle (8). We could see Christian Kirk (calf, IR) back. I'm tentatively putting my chip on Cooks, but it's tough to feel overly optimistic about any WR involved despite the obvious scoring upside in this offense

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Cooks' 47% route rate is offset by Purdy's focus on McCaffrey/Kittle and Kirk's potential return.

With Mike Evans (Achilles) sidelined for half the game last week, the 49ers' route rates showed Jordan Watkins at 91 percent, Cooks at 47 percent, and Jacob Cowing at 32 percent. However, Brock Purdy focused most attention on Christian McCaffrey (10 targets) and George Kittle (8 targets), with Watkins seeing only one target despite high route rate. Christian Kirk (calf, IR) may return, further complicating Cooks' role. The 49ers' scoring upside is obvious, but it is tough to feel overly optimistic about any WR involved.
