The San Francisco 49ers head into their Week 9 Bye after a crucial victory over the Dallas Cowboys, holding a 4-4 record as they vie for a playoff spot.
The team's promising 2024 draft class, featuring standout players like Renardo Green and Dominick Puni, has bolstered their chances. However, the 49ers need their wide receivers, particularly Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing, to step up in light of injuries.
Brock Purdy's scrambling ability has been vital, but the Special Teams Unit remains a concern, needing improvements to avoid giving away easy points. The return of Christian McCaffrey is eagerly anticipated, though his usage must be managed carefully to prevent further injuries.
