Fantasy Impact:

With the 49ers' wide receiver depth taking a hit with Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing (hamstrings) out early in training camp and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) still recovering, there was a need for more pass-catching bodies. The Niners are releasing Abanikanda, who has 70 career rushing yards after being a fifth-round pick by the New York Jets in 2023.
