Who Should I Start? Patrick Taylor Jr. or Josh Williams

Wednesday, August 20, 9:56 AM

The San Francisco 49ers have placed veteran running back Patrick Taylor Jr. (shoulder) on the season-ending injured reserve list. Taylor suffered a dislocated shoulder in the team's second preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, and he joins the growing list of 49ers running backs struck by injury. While presumed backup Isaac Guerendo (shoulder) was able to return to practice on Tuesday after missing several weeks with a shoulder injury of his own, the team has already lost Ameer Abdullah (ribs) for the season. Rookie Jordan James has already missed a few weeks due to a broken finger. After trading Jordan Mason to the Minnesota Vikings, the 49ers' running back depth has been seriously tested already, which is the last thing the team needs in their efforts to keep All-Pro Christian McCaffrey healthy. Jeff Wilson Jr. and Ke'Shawn Vaughn will likely see the majority of work in the team's final preseason game. If he can remain healthy, McCaffrey once more enters the year as perhaps the biggest difference maker in fantasy football. Still, given his checkered injury history, Guerendo is one of the league's most important backups to roster.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have requested to interview Josh Williams for their vacant general manager position. Williams is currently the director of scouting and football operations with the San Francisco 49ers. He has been with the organization for over a decade in scouting roles, but just recently took over football operations. The Jags have already hired Liam Coen as their new head coach after moving on from former GM Trent Baalke. Whoever takes over as the Jags GM already has a head coach and franchise quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. Williams appears to be the favorite for the job after Mike Greenberg dropped out of the race.
