Niles Paul News
The San Francisco 49ers cut tight end Niles Paul on Friday. With stud tight end George Kittle and rookie Kaden Smith in the fold, the Niners opted to waive the veteran and sign free-agent tight end Daniel Helm instead. Paul will likely get another shot with an NFL team but hes miles from fantasy relevance. The eight-year pro hasnt surpassed 100 receiving yards in any season since 2014, when he totaled 507 yards with the Washington Redskins.
The San Francisco 49ers are signing tight end Niles Paul, who played six games for the Jaguars last season. In those games, Paul had 10 catches for 98 yards. His best season came back in 2014 when he had 507 receiving yards with Washington. Paul's best case scenario is to earn the number-three tight end job with the Niners, so fantasy owners can go ahead and ignore this news, as San Francisco has enough other receiving options to render Paul as a non-factor.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Niles Paul (knee) is believed to have suffered a sprained MCL in the Week 6 loss to the Cowboys, according to a source. He is undergoing an MRI exam on Monday to determine how much time he'll miss. Paul is likely to miss a few games, but this injury is unlikely to be season-ending. Paul was set to have a decent pass-catching role with Austin Seferian-Jenkins (abdomen) injured, so this was a big disappointment to anyone that was streaming Paul. James O'Shaughnessy should step up in Paul's absence, although he won't have much fantasy appeal.
