Kyle Juszczyk
RB - San Francisco 49ers
Availability
Kyle Juszczyk caught three passes for 19 yards in Week 2’s defeat against the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Juszczyk had more involvement than usual, which may be due to Christian McCaffrey’s absence. Even with McCaffrey’s absence, Juszczyk won’t be a fantasy viable option moving forward.
The 49ers and Kyle Juszczyk reached agreement on a restructured contract that will free up about $1.75 million against San Francisco’s salary cap.
Fantasy Impact
Juszczyk remains the highest-paid fullback in the NFL. He'll remain in his key role as a blocker while seeing an occasional carry as well for San Francisco.
Kyle Juszczyk caught 2 of 3 targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Brock Purdy spread the ball around the seven different receivers in Sunday's win. Juszczyk was one of them, as the fullback highlighted his day with a 22-yard touchdown grab in the fourth quarter. He now has just eight total receptions on the season but has scored on two of them.
Kyle Juszczyk has officially been ruled out for Week 8 against the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Juszczyk recently had surgery to repair a broken finger and was unlikely to play this week. With the 49ers bye coming in Week 9, this will give Juszczyk a couple of weeks to recover. His absence will likely impact the running game against Aaron Donald and the Rams' defense.
Kyle Juszczyk (finger) underwent surgery to repair a broken finger Monday and likely won't play in the team's Week 8 matchup against the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
Juszczyk suffered a broken finger while attempting a stiff-arm in Sunday's game, and he had to get surgery to repair it. He isn't expected to be well enough to play next week, but he should be good to go after the team's Week 9 bye. He doesn't get a lot of volume himself, but losing his blocking and versatility will be tough for the Niners' offense this week.
