Sanu is a very good blocker and I think that's why he's getting all the slot reps and the 11 personnel reps. I do think some speed can help (Sherfield) the passing offense so that it isn't just Aiyuk running the clearing routes.

Right?! Sucks man cause I think Sherfield earned it. Would love to see him get more opportunities, I love everything about this guy, love the underdogs who grind

Agree. Would love to see him & Aiyuk on the field with Trey Lance in certain packages

He was always far better in the preseason than he was in the regular season.
I know his snaps went down by a lot, but this guy been kinda ghost last few games. 18 yards since week 1

Well with Sanu gone, hopefully he gets passes again....but I think Jennings might take over for Sanu. Similar build.
Pretty disappointed this guy hasn't shown up. It looked like he had a lot of promise.

Simple truth is Aiyuk passed him on the depth chart, then Jennings also passed him on the depth chart.

Sure looks like it. Jennings been lights out the past couple of games.
He is mostly used as an outside/decoy receiver, in a team that prefers to run, with a QB that hardly throws to the sidelines. That Jennings got ahead of him on the depth chart is a good thing.

Sherfield still plays 40% of ST snaps.

I don't think Sherfield was ever signed to be a big contributor on offense, he was known as a ST's guy coming from Arizona. He is a tenacious player and lives up to his nickname "Textbook Trent" which lead to him shining in preseason but ultimately Aiyuk and JJ are just more talented WR's and have earned their snaps over him. Also, blame Shanahan for not using him right? Cmon lol.
