The San Francisco 49ers have experienced a significant turnover in their roster this season, most notably with their quarterback, Brock Purdy, becoming the highest-paid player in franchise history following a record-setting contract. However, the offense faces challenges due to the departure of key players like Deebo Samuel Sr. and the injuries to Brandon Aiyuk, along with Demarcus Robinson's suspension, which could lead to greater responsibilities for younger receivers early in the season.

Rookie first-round pick Ricky Pearsall is anticipated to step up in production, joining a cast of relatively unproven targets. With players like Jauan Jennings and George Kittle expected to carry the load initially, the 49ers' passing game will look to redefine itself with a mix of talent and youth as the team navigates the early challenges of the season.
