FFToday's Take:This trade deal can't be finalized until March 12th and Deebo is on the final year of his contract. Jayden Daniels gets a much needed offensive weapon to go along with Terry McLaurin, although a good chunk of Daniel's fantasy value comes with his own rushing ability so it's reasonable to question just how much this will improve the quarterback's fantasy value. This move will leave San Francisco with Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall as their top three receivers. Aiyuk's knee injury occurred in mid-October making him questionable to play Week 1.
