Watkins led snaps at 47; OC Kubiak praises route-running and expects target increase.

Second-year WR led all 49ers wideouts with 47 snaps in Week 6 after getting the start over Brandin Cooks and Jacob Cowing; despite limited target volume (one target for 22 yards), offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak expressed strong confidence in Watkins' route-running, separation, and assignment execution, stating 'the ball is going to find him because he's playing the right way.' Kubiak emphasized Watkins has 'gotten better as a player' and expects his involvement to 'continue to happen,' positioning him for increased targets in Week 7 with Evans sidelined.
