49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: No carries, targets in Week 10
Kyle Juszczyk went without a carry or target while playing 25 of the San Francisco 49ers' 64 offensive snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.With tailback Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) making his season debut in Week 10, the 49ers didn't waste any touches on Juszczyk, who had carried the ball three times for 21 yards and a touchdown to go with four receptions for 16 yards on eight targets across the previous three contests. While Juszczyk should continue to have a regular role on offense every week, he'll be deployed primarily as a blocker and only occasionally as a route runner whenever he's on the field.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Practices in full Wednesday
Kyle Juszczyk (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.Juszczyk is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury he picked up during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots.

Juszczyk has caught seven passes (on 10 targets) for 77 yards through the first four games of the regular season.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Three catches in Week 2
Kyle Juszczyk recorded three receptions for 19 yards on five targets in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.Though Jordan Mason has logged 20-plus carries in both of the San Francisco 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 checkdown 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 ball carrier through two weeks.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Rips off big reception
Kyle 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.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Makes impact play Sunday
Kyle 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.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk: Goes untargeted in win
Kyle Juszczyk didn't draw a target while playing 22 of the San Francisco 49ers' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Eagles.Though he's never been an overly prominent part of the passing game since joining the 49ers ahead of the 2017 season, Juszczyk has nonetheless seen his involvement as a receiver take a hit in his seventh season in San Francisco. After clearing 200 receiving yards in each of the previous six campaigns, Juszczyk is well behind that pace thus far in 2023, having recorded eight receptions for 65 yards and two scores through 14 games. The 32-year-old is unlikely to see his playing time take a substantial hit while his role in the passing attack declines, as he's still valued for his skills as a pass protector and as a lead blocker in front of Christian McCaffrey.
