"There seems to be a connection between Jimmy Garoppolo and Trent Taylor," fullback Kyle Juszczyk said. "And he just seems to be moving at another speed and just has an incredible feel for space on the field. Many times, it's just him and Jimmy just kind of improvising."

Don't be surprised if he leads the team in targets and receptions, according to beat writer Nick Wagoner.

Taylor suffered a Jones fracture in his foot last week that will keep him out the rest of the preseason, but the Niners are hopeful he will be back for Week 1. When he does return, the hope is he will pick up where he left off after a training camp that left teammates and coaches raving about his bounce-back from an injury-plagued 2018 season. We have him down the team's depth chart, but he's a name to keep an eye on.

San Francisco 49ers WR Trent Taylor suffered a broken foot in Saturday's preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Taylor went down early in the game, was carted off the field and was immediately ruled out for the rest of the game. As it turned out, he was already getting surgery. The team hopes Taylor will be back early in the season, but it looks unlikely he will be ready for the season opener against the Buccaneers. Taylor had been showing well and was touted by Maiocco as the receiver who would lead the team in catches. Taylor, fortunately, will not miss a lot of time and was already going practically undrafted in fantasy circles. Monitor the 49ers' receivers and the waiver wire in case Taylor lands there.

Beat writer Matt Barrows believes the first four receiver spots would go to "Dante Pettis, Deebo Samuel, Jalen Hurd, and Trent Taylor," and that would leave just "two spots for Marquise Goodwin, Jordan Matthews, Kendrick Bourne and Richie James" to compete over.

Barrows says that all the receivers competing for a spot have had good days, but of late it's Been Kendrick Bourne putting up the strongest work. Marquise Goodwin likely still has an in based on his work in the past, but he's not locked in, which means he shouldn't be locked into your draft day plans.

Trent Taylor is the 49ers’ top slot receiver. He looked good during offseason program. I expect him to lead the team in receptions.

There will be a lot of mouths to feed in San Francisco, so even leading the team in receptions could be a lower number than most teams, but Trent Taylor is free in drafts right now and Matt Maiocco isn't one for hyperbole.
