Juszczyk recorded three receptions for 19 yards on five targets in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers. Though Jordan Mason has logged 20-plus carries in both of the 49ers' first two games in the absence of Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), Mason hasn't assumed McCaffrey's high-volume role in the passing game, logging just two targets. Mason's lack of involvement on passing downs has paved the way for Juszczyk to see more looks as a check-down target for quarterback Brock Purdy, with the fullback's five targets Sunday representing his most in a game since the 2021 season. Juszczyk still isn't seeing enough volume as a pass catcher to put himself on the fantasy radar, however, and he has yet to see any use as a ballcarrier through two weeks.

Juszczyk had two receptions (three targets) for 40 yards in Monday's Week 1 win over the Jets. Juszczyk made his mark early in the 2024 campaign when he almost scored on a 34-yard reception in Monday's win. The utility fullback finished tied for third in yardage in a contest that was dominated by San Francisco's run game (38 carries for 180 yards and two touchdowns). Juice will bust out the occasional big play to stand out in the box score, but he doesn't receive enough usage on offense to warrant a RB or FLEX spot in most formats.

Juszczyk and the 49ers have agreed to a restructured contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Juszczyk's reworked deal will free up about $1.75 million in cap space for the 49ers, who are looking to retool in the offseason after losing in the Super Bowl. The versatile fullback signed a five-year, $27 million contract with San Francisco back in March of 2021.

Juszczyk had one carry for three yards and caught two of three targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over Detroit in the NFC Championship Game. Juszcyzk made a rare splash in the box score, with his 23-yard reception helping to spark a stagnant offense that trailed by 14 points to the Lions in the first quarter. The versatile fullback finished the contest playing 61 percent of the snaps on offense with three combined touches, a stark uptick from the zero touches and 41 percent share he handled against Green Bay in the divisional round the week prior. Juszczyk could have a play or two drawn up for him in the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII matchup against the Chiefs on Feb. 11, but his fantasy limitations at the fullback position kills any potential appeal.

Juszczyk (illness) will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Juszczyk's status was up in the air due to an illness, but he will ultimately play through it. Look for him to take on his usual responsibilities at fullback assuming he avoids any setbacks.
