Kyle Juszczyk Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk (finger) had surgery on his broken right finger on Monday and is expected to miss the Week 8 contest versus the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Juszczyk suffered the broken finger in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he was able to finish out the game. He'll likely miss this weekend's game, but then the Niners have their bye in Week 9, so there's a chance that the fullback will be ready to play in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The absence of Juszczyk will be a slight downgrade for running backs Christian McCaffrey and Jeff Wilson Jr. in Week 8 in a tough matchup against the Rams D. The 31-year-old Juszczyk isn't fantasy relevant with 11 catches on 15 targets for 153 yards and no touchdowns through seven games.

The San Francisco 49ers have exercised fullback Kyle Juszczyk's contract options for 2023 through 2025, keeping him with the team for the next four years, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Undoubtedly the league's best fullback (he's the FB1 in fantasy for each of the last seven seasons), Juszczyk will earn $3.775 million this coming year and is guaranteed an additional $1.25 million in 2023. In 2021, he posted 318 yards and a touchdown. His ability to create plays via blocking and catching is instrumental in San Francisco's strong offense.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk carried once for a six-yard touchdown and caught another six-yard pass to finish with 12 total scrimmage yards against the Atlanta Falcons during a 31-13 Week 15 win. The 49ers veteran fullback converted his lone carry into a touchdown, showing why it's so difficult to defend Kyle Shanahan's run-centric hybrid West Coast offensive scheme. Juszczyk does not hold any fantasy value due to his position, but he will continue to be used situationally as a receiver or ball carrier moving forward.
