Gets some late run on ST James did not record a touch while appearing in three games for the 49ers in 2025.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick was a healthy scratch for the first 14 weeks of the regular season before being activated on special teams for the final three contests. The 49ers only deploy their top two running backs on offense, so all three of James' appearances were limited to kick coverage in 2025. James will have to prove his worth in training camp as a sophomore next season in order to return as a depth piece behind star RB Christian McCaffrey.

Finds end zone in fifth year Farrell finished his first regular season with San Francisco grabbing 11 of 14 targets for 85 yards and two touchdowns across 17 games.

Impact Farrell signed with the 49ers in 2025 to back up TE George Kittle after playing his first four seasons with the Jaguars. Kittle wound up missing six games during the regular season, but it was third-stringer Jake Tonges who took over the injured starter's targets in those contests while generating fantasy value off the waiver wire. Farrell did catch a pair of short touchdown passes after being held out of the end zone during his four years in Jacksonville, but the volume simply wasn't enough to register even in games that Kittle missed. With a hard cap on his playing time and target potential, fantasy managers can safely ignore Farrell in 2026 drafts.

Falls out of favor in 2025 Guerendo was only utilized on special teams this season, finishing with 100 kick return yards across 14 active games.

Impact Guerendo entered his sophomore campaign with an opportunity to serve as Christian McCaffrey's primary backup, but he failed to seize the role in training camp and the team opted to trade for veteran RB Brian Robison (92-400-2) to fill that role instead. The 25-year-old Guerendo averaged 5.0 yards per carry in his rookie season, so it was a bit surprising to see San Francisco's coaching staff give him zero carries in 2025. The Louisville product was healthy for the majority of the schedule and appeared in 14 games as a member of the special teams unit. Guerendo still has two years left on his rookie contract, but it doesn't appear that the 49ers view the running back as part of the team's long-term vision on offense.

Thrives as Purdy's backup in 2025 Jones finished the regular season completing 70 percent of his pass attempts for 2,151 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions across 11 games.

Impact All of Jones' passing production came in eight spot-starts spanning Weeks 2-11 while 49ers starter Brock Purdy recovered from a turf toe injury. The 26-year-old Jones thrived under head coach Kyle Shanahan in 2025 after finishing with the highest completion rate (70 percent) and average attempt distance (7.4 YPA) of his career. Despite the backup's improved play, the coaching staff was steadfast in naming Purdy the starter once he was healthy enough to suit up. Jones remains under contract with San Francisco for the 2026 season where he will serve as one of the league's best insurance policies under center. The 2021 first-round pick won't have any value in fantasy drafts -- barring a catastrophic injury to Purdy this postseason -- but Jones' improved play makes him a reliable option to stream in whenever he is asked to start next year.

Eagles vs. 49ers Injury Report – NFC Wild Card Round, 2026

Limited Wednesday KIttle (ankle) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Impact After missing a Week 17 win against the Bears due to a mid-to-low-ankle sprain, Kittle was back in action this past Saturday against the Seahawks, logging 95 percent of the snaps on his way to five catches (on seven targets) for 29 yards. He continues to deal with the injury in the wake of that loss, but he at least will have two more opportunities to log a full practice this week before the 49ers potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's wild-card game at Philadelphia.
