The 49ers made a bit of a splash last week when they traded for former second-round pick Skyy Moore from the Chiefs. The move comes amid an abundance of attrition in their wide receiver room.

Not only is the Bay Area squad without star pass catcher Brandon Aiyuk as he continues his recovery from a late-October ACL tear, but Jauan Jennings (calf), Jacob Cowing (hamstring), and Jordan Watkins (ankle) are all dealing with injuries late into training camp, and Demarcus Robinson was just handed a three-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.

San Francisco also signed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who was released by the Seahawks on Tuesday.

The additions of Moore and Valdes-Scantling give San Francisco a much-needed buffer as they deal with the above ailments to begin the 2025 season.

Here's a fresh look at 49ers' wide receiver room headed into Week 1. For the sake of the exercise, Injured players are listed in italics, while Robinson—though he can appeal his suspension—is not included.
