• 49ers' Luke Farrell: No receptions Sunday

  11/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Farrell was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 41-22 victory over Arizona. Farrell was able to nab his second touchdown of the season against the Rams last week, but he reverted to his blocking role against the Cardinals on Sunday. The veteran backup logged 16 snaps on offense (29 percent) behind George Kittle's dominant 6-67-2 receiving line. Farrell's fantasy value is completely dependent on vulturing short touchdowns from Kittle, which keeps the former off the fantasy radar for Week 12.

• 49ers' Luke Farrell: Hits pay dirt in loss

  Farrell had two receptions on as many targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams. Farrell got back in the scoring column after recording the first touchdown of his career against the Saints in Week 2. The blocking tight end had just five receptions for 48 yards in the seven games in between his trips to the end zone. Farrell's minimal role on offense keeps him out of the fantasy conversation in standard formats.

• 49ers' Luke Farrell: Scores first TD of career

  09/15/2025 • By RotoWire

  Farrell brought in two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints. Farrell got the start in place of George Kittle (hamstring) on Sunday, finishing with 41 snaps played on offense (58 percent). Jake Tonges wound up playing more snaps (79 percent) while garnering more targets (five) in the passing game, but it was Farrell who cashed in one of Mac Jones's three touchdown passes. It appears that the 49ers will deploy both tight ends in tandem while Kittle mends on injured reserve. In that scenario, neither option offers much fantasy upside heading into next Sunday's tilt against Arizona.

• 49ers' Luke Farrell: Catches one pass Sunday

  09/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Farrell brought in his only target for four yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks. Starter George Kittle (hamstring) left the contest after scoring an early touchdown, opening up a chunk of playing time for the team's backup tight ends. Farrell finished with the most snaps played on offense (44), but it was third-stringer Jake Tonges (3-15-1) who absorbed Kittle's fantasy production despite logging 14 less snaps. It appears the 49ers view Farrell primarily as a blocking tight end regardless of where he sits on the depth chart. It is currently unclear how long Kittle will be sidelined for (if at all), but it appears that Tonges would be the fantasy beneficiary if the former can't suit up against the Saints next Sunday.

• Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Secures both targets

  09/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Farrell caught both his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 18-13 loss to Cleveland. The 26-year-old had an increased role since starting tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was a late scratch Sunday, but it was Brenton Strange who operated as Jacksonville's primary tight end with three catches for 65 yards and a 68 percent snap share. Farrell played 28 of 60 offensive snaps and is unlikely to be significantly involved in the passing game even if Engram misses more time.
