Matt Maiocco identifies five 49ers players to watch in San Francisco's Week 8 game against the Houston Texans.

Ever since Kyle Shanahan took over as the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, there has been a certain section of fans who have waited for the other shoe to drop.

San Francisco's been without its top wideout for the whole regular season. Here's what we know about his potential return.

Saleh might have been the 49ers' top offseason acquisition, and no NFL assistant coach has made a bigger impact this season.

While he's now producing the goods with the Chicago Bears, the 49ers chose to bring in Piñeiro. He previously spent time with the Carolina Panthers, where he maintained solid averages of 84.6% on field goals and 94.3% on PATs. But since arriving in San Francisco, he’s wasted no time making history, setting a new franchise record.

Claire Kittle turned heads on the sidelines, as 49ers tight end George Kittle’s wife expertly balanced in the grass wearing stilettos, stockings and a jersey as a dress.

Chase Lucas hasn't played much, but he's made an outsized impact for the 49ers, including two game-sealing plays.

Apparently, Colin Kaepernick changed the way he behaved in the locker room during his six-year career with the San Francisco 49ers. Kaepernick had a nice run with the 49ers, throwing for 12,271 yards with 72 touchdowns and 30 interceptions.
