NF L waiver wire swirl surrounds San Francisco as the 49ers sign Marquez Valdes-Scantling to a one-year deal and pursue Kendrick Bourne, while weighing Russell Gage’s return after his release. Jauan Jennings’ calf issue clouds Week 1 plans as San Francisco surveys veteran WR avenues. Sebastian Valdez clears waivers and returns to the practice squad, with Evan Anderson out and Jordan Jefferson stepping in on the roster. Robbie Chosen lands on the practice squad alongside Eli Apple, rounding a reshaped WR corps.

Depth at wide receiver suddenly looks crowded, but the 49ers aim to mount Week 1 contributions from multiple veterans who know Kyle Shanahan’s system. The exchange underscores how contending teams value athletic versatility and field-stretching ability, even if roles aren’t crystal clear yet. Fantasy players should monitor how these veterans carve out snaps and target shares as roster moves finalize.
