The San Francisco 49ers are heading into the 2025 season with a wide receiver group that, while not a glaring weakness, remains a significant question mark. Despite having talent, none of their receivers made it to Pro Football Focus's list of the top 32 wideouts, exposing a lack of elite playmakers in the passing game.

Brandon Aiyuk, who was expected to be a key contributor, is recovering from a severe knee injury, leaving uncertainty regarding his availability and effectiveness. In his absence, Jauan Jennings is likely to step up as the top receiver after a promising season where he showed flashes of potential but still lacks the consistency to be considered among the league's elite. Second-year players Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing are still unproven, while veteran Demarcus Robinson and rookie Jordan Watkins are not expected to be significant factors in the passing game.
