Watkins leading WR snaps with Evans out; positioned in top group post-deadline.

Kyle Shanahan has shown trust in the second-year wideout, and Watkins has paced 49ers wide receivers in snaps with Mike Evans out, leading the team in the Washington, Atlanta, and Las Vegas games. Post-trade deadline, he appears positioned in the top group alongside Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel. Watkins and Demarcus Robinson can play the vertical role, making them live for big plays every week.
