Kyle Juszczyk Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk (foot) and running back Jeffery Wilson (calf) were held out of practice Tuesday. Juszczyk appears in no danger of missing meaningful practice time and is a lock to make the roster as one of the few pure fullbacks left in football. With 30 catches last season, Juszczyk will have the very occasional fantasy-relevant game but will rarely function as a skill player. While theres limited information on Wilson, an extended absence could jeopardize his chance to make the team amidst a crowded backfield. Hes just a depth piece on the roster and doesnt merit fantasy consideration.

San Francisco 49ers running back Kyle Juszczyk was held to three catches for 30 yards in Week 6. He also lost a fumble. Juszczyk created some noise after notching 87 scrimmage yards in Week 5 but an active Matt Breida (ankle, shoulder) and relentless ground attack reduced him to his standard blocking role. Game script will occasionally give Juszczyk an opportunity to factor into the Niners passing game but hes nothing more than a deep PPR handcuff for the banged up Breida.

If San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) is unable to play in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers, Kyle Juszczyk could be a fantasy factor. Juszczyk is fourth on the squad with 20 targets and coming off a six-catch performance for 75 yards in Week 5. With 144 career grabs and a 74% catch rate, Juszczyk possesses significantly more reliable hands than counterpart Alfred Morris (63 receptions, 68% catch rate). Juszczyk is likely the preferred passing-down back in a game where the Niners are significant underdogs. With quarterback C.J. Beathards inability to stretch the field, Juszczyk is a serviceable substitute for Breida owners and could be a deep-league or DFS gamble in PPR formats.
