1 obvious schedule quirk should deter 49ers from trading for a wide receiver

Peter Panacy of Niner Noise argues that an upcoming Week 8 bye week should discourage the San Francisco 49ers from trading for a wide receiver. Despite multiple injuries to receivers like Deebo Samuel, Christian Kirk, and Ricky Pearsall, the undefeated 5-0 49ers have a favorable short-term schedule. General manager John Lynch has been linked to potential trade targets such as Brian Thomas Jr. and Jauan Jennings.

Panacy contends that San Francisco faces struggling defenses in the Washington Commanders and Atlanta Falcons before their Week 8 bye. With several injured receivers expected to return around Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders, the writer believes the 49ers should avoid spending valuable draft capital on temporary wide receiver help.
