Depleted by injuries at wide receiver, the 49ers gave second-year WR Jordan Watkins an 83.6% target share Sunday against the Raiders, and he responded with 4-86-1 on four targets. If not, Watkins could be QB Brock Purdy's lead receiver against a Swiss cheese Cowboys defense.

Watkins has elite Cowboys matchup if Evans/Samuel remain out; likely one-week rental.

Watkins received an 83.6% target share Sunday against the Raiders with Mike Evans (Achilles tendinitis) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) out, responding with 4-86-1 on four targets. If one or both remain sidelined, Watkins could be the lead receiver against a Cowboys defense that allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers entering Week 6. Even if Evans or Samuel returns, Watkins could be flex-worthy in this favorable matchup. However, Watkins is likely a one-week rental since Evans should return by Week 11 at the latest, and the 49ers face difficult matchups against the Vikings (Week 11) and Seahawks (Week 12).
