No Jake Ferguson is a big blow; Lamb, George Pickens, and Ryan Flournoy provide plenty of firepower.

Pickens provides firepower on the outside where 49ers have been vulnerable to elite receivers.

Pickens is one of the Cowboys' most potent receivers alongside Lamb and Ryan Flournoy. The 49ers' defense has been fantastic at taking away throws to the slot (51% target share allowed, second-lowest in the league) but has struggled against elite outside receivers. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 102 yards on five catches, Brock Bowers had 111 receiving yards, and Trey McBride had 75 yards. Pickens will be on the outside where the 49ers have been less effective, though the game script may limit his opportunities if Dallas falls behind early.
