Eagles vs. 49ers: 10 San Francisco stars to watch besides Nick Bosa and Christian McCaffrey

The Eagles' defense has its hands full with the 49ers offense.

Christian McCaffrey has been a monster this season: 939 rushing yards, 389 receiving yards, and 16 total touchdowns. Once upon a time, his father, Ed, was a nice weapon for Mike Shanahan's Denver Broncos. Now, Christian and Kyle Shanahan make a nice team in the Bay Area.

Brock Purdy is the maestro of Shanahan's orchestra, a point guard if you will. He need only get the ball to his playmakers.

Sean Desai's Eagles defense had better be ready as the 49ers are stocked on the offensive side of the ball. Here are five guys that you should watch.

6. Brandon Aiyuk, wide receiver

Brandon Aiyuk is the 49ers' third-leading receiver (45 grabs) and the man who has produced the team's highest receiving yards total (881). He is tied with McCaffrey and the next man on this list with a team-high five receiving TDs. Philly can't let him run free through their secondary.

7. George Kittle, tight end

George Kittle would be the Niners' leading receiver in terms of receptions if not for that McCaffrey guy. He has, however, produced the team's highest receiving yards total (667 big ones). No one has to be reminded of how good he is when he's healthy.

Can you believe he was a fifth-round draft choice?

8. Deebo Samuel, wide receiver

Personal beefs aside, Deebo Samuel is special. He can do anything with a football in his hands. Equally as impressive to his 34 receptions, his 474 receiving yards, and his receiving TD is his 138 yards rushing and his three rushing scores.

Say what you will. This guy is capable of providing a few headaches, and frankly, no Eagles fan wants to see that happen.

9. Jauan Jennings, wide receiver

A true weapon in the Niners' offense that, at times, gets overlooked, Jauan Jennings can turn a game with a catch you wouldn't think would be tossed in his direction.

He has yet to score a receiving TD, but Philly should keep tabs on him. We'd rather his first not come at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.

10. Trent Williams, left tackle

Well, let's just hope that, when the Eagles are up on the scoreboard late in the fourth quarter and San Fran is throwing their temper tantrums, we don't have to watch Trent Williams body-slam someone out of frustration.

Months have passed since the NFC Championship Game. We still can't get that thought out of our heads.

As far as football goes, however, he's one of the best left tackles in the game. He's the man paid to protect Brock Purdy's blindside.

Anyone wanting to create edge pressure from the right side of Philly's rush will have to get around him. Friends, no one ever does so easily.
