With the deadline a week away and a need at receiver, the 49ers may need to inquire about 24-year-old Brian Thomas Jr. from the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

The thought of the 49ers bringing disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk back into the locker room sounds crazy, but could the two sides benefit from such a move? According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Aiyuk is in the process of changing representation with the goal being a return to the field. 

Do the 49ers want the drama associated with Aiyuk? Probably not. Could they benefit from another receiver on the roster. Definitely. 

The 49ers have played like Super Bowl contenders this season, but that doesn’t mean that they should be content with where they are at. Injuries have ravaged the team, and while there are other holes on the roster, the wide receiver room may be the most pressing. 

Does that mean that the 49ers should trade for a wide receiver before the trade deadline?

The 49ers came into Sunday’s matchup against the Falcons looking like a team in desperate need of their bye week. They played like it as well. San Francisco never looked like a team in control during their 29-20 loss to Atlanta. Whether it was because of the number of injuries they are dealing with or the team overlooking the Falcons, their annual bye week should give the team a chance to regroup. 

Hopefully the 49ers can inch their way closer to better health, something that they have yet to witness all season. 

The 49ers are no strangers to injuries. After dealing with them all season long, they will be forced to face even more absences this weekend. 

With Deebo Samuel and Mike Evans out on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey will need to help will San Francisco to a victory. 

This is one of my favorite gameday/ticket heads up graphics I have ever seen posted. Give the media team a raise!

After starting the season 5-0, it is hard to find much to complain about with the 49ers. Brock Purdy has played like a MVP-candidate and the team seems to be gelling. 

So what should fans be looking for in primetime on Monday?

The 49ers have been outstanding so far this season. With a relatively favorable matchup on Monday Night Football against the Washington Commanders, there is no reason San Francisco shouldn’t be 6-0. 

Granted, no team in the NFL should be considered an “easy win”, but with the way that Brock Purdy and the 49ers have been playing, fans should feel optimistic heading into week 7. 

The San Francisco 49ers are 5-0, but the most impressive part of their undefeated start might be how often they have had to win without everything going according to plan.

It is definitely not a fluke. The San Francisco 49ers are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Brock Purdy led the Niners to a win over the reigning champion Seahawks on Sunday, making a statement to the division. 

The win wasn’t pretty, but rarely will a divisional matchup be. Wins can be difficult to come by in the NFL, so being able to grit out the ugly wins shows a level of hard-nosed football that is required to win games come January and February.
