49ers WR spot: Veteran Robinson faces rookie competition

The San Francisco 49ers are set to have a crowded wide receiver room this offseason, creating a three-way battle for the final roster spots.

Demarcus Robinson, Jacob Cowing, and Jordan Watkins are the frontrunners for the two available spots behind locked-in receivers De’Zhaun Stribling, Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall, and Christian Kirk. While Robinson’s 111-yard playoff performance against the Eagles offers him an edge, his limited regular-season production makes the competition against the rookie duo Cowing and Watkins fierce. milkshake.it.com
