Tanner Mordecai returned to the 49ers and flashed in the preseason finale, completing 10 of 13 passes for 103 yards with a TD and adding 12 rushing yards. The performance heightens his chances to land the Week 1 third-string job behind Purdy and Jones as San Francisco trims the roster by Tuesday.

Carter Bradley connected for a TD on eight completions, and Kurtis Rourke returns from ACL rehab with a real shot to claim the role. The Chargers served as the test, but the final decision will hinge on the cut-down deadline and depth-chart shuffles that will shape late-round fantasy leverage and betting angles.
