Kyle Juszczyk Fantasy

The San Francisco 49ers exercised fullback Kyle Juszczyk's option for the 2020 season on Wednesday, according to a source. Juszczyk, who will turn 29 in April, only carried the ball three times and caught the ball 20 times during the regular season, but he's an integral part of the team's ground game as the lead blocker in front of Raheem Mostert, Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida. Juszczyk caught a touchdown in the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs, but he will almost certainly be used primarily for his blocking moving forward, making him a non-factor in fantasy circles. If there ever was one, he's a player that is way more important in real-life football than fake football.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk caught three passes for 39 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Juszczyk scored the first Niners touchdown with a 15-yard connection from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in the second quarter. He came within a yard of scoring again in the third quarter. The NFLs highest-paid fullback showed his versatility on Sunday, finding holes in the Chiefs Defense when tapped to impact the game offensively. Heading into 2020, expect Juice to continue being a critical bulldozer for the Niners running game that was amongst the best this season.

San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk has some deep sleeper appeal against the Minnesota Vikings in a thin DFS slate. Juszczyks first and second priorities are to pave the road for the Niners dominant running game, but hes occasionally factored into the passing attack. While his floor is an absolute zero, Juszczyk has three games with over 45 receiving yards and six contests with at least three opportunities. With backup runners Tevin Coleman and Matt Breida averaging less than five touches over the past four games, the block-first back has an almost equal opportunity to vulture chances from starter Raheem Mostert. Juszczyk isnt for the faint-hearted, but could be a difference maker in fantasy if he surprisingly factors into the Divisional Round game plan.
