Sanders has 30 catches for 367 yards and two touchdowns this season. At his best, he was a 1,000-yard receiver, but injuries have hindered him in recent years.
It became very clear in the past week that Sanders was on his way out as the Broncos continue to sink toward the bottom of the standings. He’ll give Jimmy Garoppolo another weapon for the unbeaten 49ers.
