San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy converted an NFL-record 58% of his passes on third and fourth down into first downs in 2025.

Huddle Up: Purdy dealt with his own injuries and injuries to several offensive weapons, but he still managed to throw 20 touchdowns in nine games, tossing three-plus touchdowns four times. If Purdy and company can enjoy a healthier 2026 campaign, he should be in the QB1 mix.

Mac Jones - QB

Posted 2/08/2026 10:23 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones is expected to receive trade interest from multiple teams this offseason, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Huddle Up: There have been reports that the 49ers are not interested in trading Jones, but fantasy players should monitor the situation during the offseason. He played well when he started this season but will not have much fantasy value next season if he remains with the 49ers.

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey was named the 2025 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award. He led the 49ers in both rushing and receiving yardage in 2025, totaling over 2,000 scrimmage yards after playing just four games in 2024.

Huddle Up: It was a wild season for CMC, who managed to stay mostly healthy while others around him fell like flies. He left the NFL with 413 total touches, and that's a bit of a red flag for fantasy managers heading into 2026. He has had a propensity for injury, and after such a heavy workload, the injury potential is likely for next season. Buyer beware when we get closer to draft time.

Mac Jones - QB

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones is a player that the 49ers would prefer not to trade this offseason, according to sources.

SOURCE: The Athletic - Dianna Russini

Huddle Up: Jones played well when Brock Purdy was injured this season, so Jones will probably receive trade interest from other teams during the offseason. Fantasy players can monitor the situation because Jones can be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if the 49ers agree to trade him.

Posted 2/06/2026 2:24 am GMT

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey eclipsed 2,000 yards from scrimmage for the third time in his career in 2025, and in the seasons after his previous two 2,000-yard campaigns, he played in a combined seven games. "You've got to be ready to play in the games as much as possible," McCaffrey said. "I'll do whatever it takes for this team."

SOURCE: The Mercury News - Cam Inman

Huddle Up: McCaffrey handled a league-high 413 touches this season, and running backs that handle such a heavy workload don't always find the same success the following year. He is one of the most productive backs in league when healthy, but the injury potential is something to consider when selecting McCaffrey in 2026 drafts.

Mac Jones - QB

Posted 2/05/2026 11:23 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones said he believes he has shown that he can be a starter in the NFL but is fine with remaining with the 49ers next season.

SOURCE: NFL.com

Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation because there is a chance that Jones becomes a trade target during the offseason. He posted solid numbers during his playing time this season but would be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts for a team in 2026.

Jauan Jennings - WR

Posted 2/02/2026 8:30 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings caught five of his nine touchdowns on third down during the 2025 regular season.

SOURCE: ESPN.com

Huddle Up: Jennings is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason and should receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the market. He will have a good chance to start for a team next season and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

Jauan Jennings - WR

Posted 1/20/2026 4:10 am GMT

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings is a free-agent-to-be, and he deferred to his agent when questioned about whether he would play under the projected franchise tag of $28 million for 2026.

Huddle Up: Jennings was limited to 55 receptions for 643 yards on 90 yards, a tick less than his 2024 production. However, he produced a career-high nine receiving touchdowns. He had 13 receiving scores in his first four NFL seasons across 60 games. Jennings could be a decent fantasy option in 2026, especially if he returns to San Francisco, where he could be one of the top receivers in the offense, especially if George Kittle isn't ready for the start of the season. But, a lot must happen between now and then, including a contract.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) said be believes he will return to the lineup before November and hopes to be able play closer to the start of the 2026 regular season.

Huddle Up: Kittle suffered the injury during the playoffs, so there is a good chance that he will miss some regular season games in 2026. Fantasy players should monitor the situation during training camp to have a better idea of his timetable. He is a No. 1 fantasy tight end when healthy, but players may need a short-term replacement at the position until Kittle returns.

Posted 1/19/2026 8:39 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) said he will not need surgery on the toe injury he dealt with during the season.

Huddle Up: Purdy was limited to nine games this season because of injury but should be able to participate in all of the workouts this offseason. He posted good numbers when he was able to play in 2025 and will likely be a No. 1 quarterback in leagues next season.

Posted 1/18/2026 6:44 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy had four wins in seven games against playoff teams in 2025, posting a 79.6 passer rating with 18.9 points per game (PPG) on offense, while going 4-0 with a 123.9 passer rating and 38.0 PPG against non-playoff teams.

Huddle Up: Purdy struggled badly against the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round playoff game on Saturday, but the struggles of the offense weren't all his fault. Remember, George Kittle tore his Achilles in Philadelphia last week, and the offensive line struggled to blow open holes, leading to mediocre rushing performances from Christian McCaffrey and the run game for most of the season.

Posted 1/18/2026 3:24 am GMT

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (stinger) returned to the Divisional Round game against the Seattle Seahawks after exiting with a stinger.

Huddle Up: It looks like McCaffrey will try to play through the injury, but it remains to be seen if it will impact his effectiveness. Regardless, it looks like McCaffrey avoided any type of long-term injury.

Jake Tonges - TE

Posted 1/18/2026 3:18 am GMT

San Francisco 49ers TE Jake Tonges (foot) is questionable to return to the Divisional Round game against the Seattle Seahawks after exiting with a foot injury. Tonges had five catches for 59 yards prior to exiting.

Huddle Up: Already missing George Kittle, the 49ers will be thin at the tight end position if Tonges is unable to return. Luke Farrell would likely become the primary option in place of Tonges.

Posted 1/17/2026 11:40 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is officially active for the Divisional Round playoff game.

Huddle Up: Pearsall has been a solid contributor in the passing game when healthy, so he should see a handful of targets against the Seattle Seahawks. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Posted 1/17/2026 3:32 am GMT

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey faces the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round, and McCaffrey gained 92 rushing yards on 30 carries in two meetings with Seattle in the regular season.

SOURCE: ESPN.com

Huddle Up: Granted, McCaffrey also caught 15 passes for 107 yards in the two meetings, but he was held out of the end zone and couldn't find any running room. His heavy workload is going to result in a solid yardage total and plenty of receptions, but fantasy owners may want to think twice before building lineups around McCaffrey in playoff contests.

Posted 1/15/2026 9:59 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 15, and is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round playoff game.

Huddle Up: Pearsall was a limited participant in all three practices this week and should have a good chance to be active for the game. He will see a handful of targets if active and can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Huddle Up: Pearsall was not available for the first playoff game but seems to have a good chance to play in the Divisional Round game. He will see a handful of targets if he is active and can be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Posted 1/14/2026 3:19 am GMT

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) will have surgery for his torn right Achilles tendon on Wednesday, Jan. 14. He suffered the injury in the team's NFC Wild Card game victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Huddle Up: With Kittle on the shelf for the rest of the season, and perhaps a decent chunk of the 2026 campaign, Jake Tonges is likely to be front and center in the team's offensive game plan. He and Luke Farrell are the next men up, and Tonges proved valuable when Kittle missed time due to a hamstring injury earlier in the regular season.

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee), was a limited practice participant on Tuesday, Jan. 13.

Huddle Up: Pearsall hauled in 36 catches for 528 yards with no touchdowns during the regular season.

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) has been ruled out for the remainder of the NFC Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering a torn Achilles tendon on his first reception of the game in the second quarter.

Huddle Up: The Achilles' tendon is ruptured, according to several reports. He was ruled out quickly, and principal owner and CEO Jed York and Kittle's wife were reportedly in a somber mood walking into the locker room to see the player. He could be out for most of the offseason, while the start of his 2026 regular season might be in danger. We'll stay on top of it for you.

Posted 1/11/2026 8:16 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) has been declared inactive for the Wild Card playoff game.

Huddle Up: Jauan Jennings, Demarcus Robinson and Kendrick Bourne will be the main receivers for the 49ers with Pearsall unavailable. Jennings should be a starting option in fantasy leagues, while Robinson and Bourne can be possible flex options.

Posted 1/10/2026 2:38 am GMT

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy faces the Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round, and the Eagles allowed a league-low 14 passing touchdowns in the regular season.

Huddle Up: Injuries aside, Purdy has played well when he has been on the field this season. However, the Eagles are a tough test, and in addition to limiting passing touchdowns, they are also holding opposing quarterbacks to the lowest completion percentage in the league. Purdy is on the lower end of potential quarterback options for fantasy playoff contests.

Posted 1/09/2026 10:54 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.

Huddle Up: Kittle has caught at least five passes in six of his last seven games and should see a good amount of targets again this week. He should be a No. 1 tight end in all fantasy leagues.

Posted 1/09/2026 10:47 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.

Huddle Up: McCaffrey finished the regular season with 2,126 total yards and should see plenty of touches in both the running and passing game during the playoff game. He is must-start option in all fantasy leagues.

Posted 1/09/2026 10:36 pm GMT

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.

Huddle Up: Pearsall missed all three practices this week and seems to be a long shot to play at this point. Fantasy players can check the inactive list for his official status but should probably look for other options to use for their lineups.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.

Huddle Up: Kittle should be on track to play in the Wild Card game as long as he does not suffer a setback in the next few days. He will see a good amount of targets if active and will be a starting option in all leagues.
