Who Should I Start? Kendrick Bourne or Isaiah Hodgins

Wednesday, October 15, 12:32 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has stepped up in a major way with the team dealing with multiple injuries to their skill position group, and could be in line for more work again in Week 7. Kendrick Bourne has posted exactly 142 receiving yards in back-to-back weeks, catching 10 of 11 targets against the Rams in Week 5 and hauling in 5 of 9 targets against the Buccaneers in Week 6. With WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) and TE George Kittle (hamstring) both expected to be back relatively soon, but WR Jauan Jennings is dealing with multiple broken ribs, Bourne could be relied on again in the short term. More news should come out on the statues of the Pearsall, Kittle, and Jennings throughout the week.

The San Francisco 49ers have signed wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins to a reserve/future deal. The former sixth-round pick spent the 2024 season with the New York Giants. He hauled in both his targets for 12 targets in his two appearances with the organization this season. Hodgins barely saw the field this season, but he did show flashes of potential during his 2023 campaign with the Giants. It's a low-risk move for the 49ers who might've found a decent depth option in the 26-year-old wideout. He'll get a chance to win a spot on the roster during training camp.
