## Who can step up at wide receiver?
The 49ers receiver room has been getting thin, and the team is going to be without Deebo Samuel in Week 6, making the group even thinner.
## Can the two young names step up, or will they lean on the veteran Cooks?
With Samuel out, the team essentially shuffled Jacob Cowing, Jordan Watkins, and Brandin Cooks as the second through fourth receivers behind Mike Evans.
## What role does Kyle Juszczyk have?
When Juszczyk suffered a knee injury in Week 4, the expectation was that he would be missing a couple of weeks.
## How does Jaden Dugger look?
Dre Greenlaw is suspended for Week 6, and Garrett Wallow is likely to miss due to an injury.
## How much more does Mykel Williams play?
Williams played 23 snaps, which amounted to about one-third of the defensive snaps. Williams hardly rushed from the interior in his debut, which is where he was most dynamic as a rookie.
## Can Connor Colby bounce back?
Colby has been better than expected through the first four weeks. However, once he had to step up in competition against the Seahawks, he fell back to earth.
## What happens next?
The 49ers must address wide receiver depth, Kyle Juszczyk's role, Jaden Dugger's readiness, and other roster concerns before Week 6.
## Key takeaway

San Francisco 49ers must address wide receiver depth, Kyle Juszczyk's role, Jaden Dugger's readiness, and other roster concerns before Week 6.
