49ers VP of Player Personnel Tariq Ahmad said the team drafted WR De’Zhaun Stribling because of his toughness and work ethic. Meanwhile, Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk currently sit atop the 49ers’ wide receiver depth chart.

Although he may have a slow start, Stribling’s usage should be monitored in seasonal leagues, and he warrants consideration in the second half of dynasty rookies drafts based on draft capital and athleticism alone. His playmaking ability could eventually start to earn him consistent targets, especially given the durability concerns surrounding the three veterans.
