Jordan Watkins

Dynasty Outlook: Watkins was a receiving prospect that I got to late in the evaluation process, but I really liked him. In his final collegiate season, he ranked 36th in yards per route run and 41st in yards after the catch per reception (per PFF). He can play from the slot or on the perimeter, and he has an extensive history of both in college. He's a strong route runner with a varied release package. He could be the 2026 replacement for Jauan Jennings, who will be a free agent after this season. He's another late fourth-round pick or priority waiver pickup (taxi squad must).

The San Francisco 49ers selected WR Jordan Watkins with the No. 138 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Watkins had a career year last season at Ole Miss, hauling in 49 passes for 906 yards and nine touchdowns. He'll compete for a role in the 49ers wide receiver room with the departure of Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk working his way back from his torn ACL and MCL.
