Ben Bartch Fantasy Stats

San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Ben Bartch (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's practice early. Nick Wagoner of ESPN noted that it was not clear what injury the 27-year-old suffered. He departed about halfway through the team's session and was eventually replaced by rookie Connor Colby, whom the 49ers selected in the seventh round of the draft. Bartch has spent each of the past two seasons in San Francisco after starting his NFL career with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Last season, Bartch typically had a depth role on the offensive line and only appeared in three games. He only logged more than 40 snaps in one contest and saw 10 or fewer snaps in each of his other two games. If Bartch were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect either Colby or 26-year-old Nick Zakelj to see more opportunities.

San Francisco 49ers offensive guard Ben Bartch (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Chicago Bears. The 49ers offensive line allows only 2.1 sacks per contest. With San Francisco banged up on the offensive side of the ball, another injury isn't good news, especially with Trent Williams (ankle) and Aaron Banks (concussion) ruled out heading into this contest. If Bartch doesn't return, Spencer Burford may be in line for more work.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected St. John's offensive guard/tackle Ben Bartch with the No. 116 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Adding to the offensive tackle spot was a must for the Jags heading into the draft. Bartch has solid hands, great strength and light feet. There's a good chance he gets significant playing time with the Jags fairly weak at the tackle spot. It remains to be seen what else the Jags decide to add, but Bartch should benefit their offensive line in 2020.
