We're looking at Stribling strictly in the Jauan Jennings role. That big-slot role could make Stribling an instant fantasy starter, but Jennings needed a few years to fully acclimate to the 49ers' offense, and I'm not expecting Stribling to buck the trend we saw with past early-round receivers in San Francisco who needed more than a year to thrive.

STACKED’s take

Stribling's slot role offers upside but faces acclimation timeline risk.

Injuries to the 49ers receiving corps (Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall) don't change Stribling's value; he's being evaluated strictly in the Jauan Jennings slot role. That big-slot role could make Stribling an instant fantasy starter, but Jennings needed years to acclimate to the 49ers' offense, and Stribling is not expected to buck the trend of early-round 49ers receivers needing more than a year to thrive.
