Pearsall/Jennings both ruled out on top of Kittle already being out, so SF are w/o almost all their weapons besides CMC who you don't want to give 25+ touches on a short week given his injury history. Bourne missed week 1 but since then has been involved even with Pearsall active and Jennings playing in 2/3. Week 2: 24 routes Week 3: 31 routes Week 4: 27 routes In those games, Bourne has recorded 32, 38, 17 yards on 3, 6, 4 TRG. W3 was the one Jennings was out and Bourne was 3rd on the team in routes/targets behind CMC and Pearsall (who's now out). The Rams have been a fairly good target to outside WR since Witherspoon went to IR: - Ridley: 57 yards on 6 TRG (best game of season) - Brown: 109 yards on 10 TRG (best game of season) - Pittman: 41 yards on 10 TRG (highest TRG of season) Bourne also has a rapport with Mac Jones already from their time in New England, which gives him a slight edge over other SF pass-catchers. Jones also started 2/3 games Bourne has been active in this season and those were the 32 and 38 yard games.
