Quick Takeaways
A comfortable lead in the fourth quarter gave some of the 49ers rookies a chance to get some playing time. That includes cornerbacks
Deommodore Lenoir and Ambry Thomas. While Lenoir fared well in his eight snaps, Thomas earned the team's lowest overall Pro Football Focus grade.
The game's highest offensive grade for either team went to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who led the 49ers with seven receptions for 85 yards on seven targets. It's safe to say that the second-year receiver is earning more opportunities after seemingly being limited earlier in the season.
While
Jimmy Garoppolo's overall grade of 69.6 didn't come close to his grades in the previous three games, the quarterback was efficient, completing 16-of-22 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns. Garoppolo now has 10,154 career passing yards.
Tackle Trent Williams remains on pace to earn Pro Football Focus' highest-ever single-season grade for an individual player. He now sits at 97.6 through his nine game appearances, a slight drop from his 97.8 overall grade leading into Week 11. Williams has been graded at 81.8 or higher in all but one game this season.
Cornerback Josh Norman came very close to besting his season-high grade of 89.7 in Week 3. He finished the game with a tackle, a pass defensed, and a key forced fumble, which linebacker
Fred Warner recovered.
Rookie safety Talanoa Hufanga had his highest-graded NFL game, besting his previous high of 75.5 during Week 10. Defensive tackle Kevin Givens also earned a season-high mark.

Rapoport explains Jimmy Garoppolo trade report, adds 49ers were offered a 3rd-rounder for the QB
Before Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, NFL insider Ian Rapoport stated that, barring a Super Bowl run, the 49ers plan to trade veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason and usher in the Trey Lance era in 2022. Of course, none of this is a surprise. That has seemingly been the plan since San Francisco made Lance the No. 3 overall draft pick in April.
The report created a somewhat awkward situation after the 49ers' 34-26 win over the Vikings when one reporter asked Garoppolo if he heard about
49ers-Jaguars Injury Report: Elijah Mitchell 'doubtful' for Sunday; No decision yet on Dre Greenlaw, Jaquiski Tartt
The San Francisco 49ers are preparing for their Week 11 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida.
The 49ers are being cautious with rookie running back Elijah Mitchell, who sustained a finger fracture during Monday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams. He had surgery on Tuesday to repair the damage.
Today, general manager John Lynch said Mitchell's availability against the Jaguars would be a game-time decision.
"I think that's something that you take all the way [to game time]," Lynch said on KNBR. "He's earned that right, even as a rookie, to take it all the way down to game time. We've got to get
49ers-Jaguars: Kyle Shanahan 'holding out hope' that Elijah Mitchell could play, discusses Jeff Wilson, Trey Sermon
San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell is officially listed as "doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is still hoping that the rookie could play, but the odds are against him.
Mitchell suffered a finger fracture during Monday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams. The next day, he underwent a procedure to repair the damage. As a result, Mitchell has not practiced at all this week. The coach had hoped the team's leading rusher would get some work in during the three practices, but that never happened.
"It's just how he feels with it," Shanahan explained. "And we thought it would be a little further along now. But obviously, it isn't. That's why he couldn't go today. We're holding out hope because
