Sammy Watkins
Another young receiver, 24-year-old Sammy Watkins would be another big target for Garoppolo if the 49ers pursue him in free agency. Watkins had previously played for the Buffalo Bills until they traded him to the Los Angeles Rams.

Watkins hasn’t had the most standout season for Los Angeles, but the 49ers should be all for signing him in free agency. His best game of the season came against San Francisco, in which he caught six passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns, his only touchdowns this season.
Like Landry, Watkins could be another deep-threat option that Garoppolo would love to have and he could have a break-out season for the 49ers if he chooses to sign elsewhere in the off-season.
