49ers' depth at receiver severely lacking with Deebo injury

The 49ers fell behind and were forced to attempt twice as many passes as run plays.

Yet, only three wide receivers saw significant playing time in the 49ers' 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk and Kendrick Bourne played 63 and 60 snaps, respectively. Slot receiver Trent Taylor was on the field for 35 snaps.

Aiyuk led the 49ers with eight catches for 91 yards and a touchdown. Bourne added eight receptions for 81 yards. Taylor had his best game of the season with three catches for 32 yards.

After that, the 49ers have no reason to have confidence in any other receiver as long as Deebo Samuel is out with a hamstring injury.

Dante Pettis has been a colossal disappointment as a second-round draft pick 2018. He played just three snaps on Sunday, and no passes were thrown his way.

The only time Pettis touched the ball was on a kickoff return, and his third-quarter fumble ended any chance for a 49ers comeback.
