49ers' Eric Saubert: Records two receptions Sunday
Eric Saubert finished with two receptions on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.Saubert failed to bring in his lone target against the Jets in Week 1, officially recording his first reception with San Francisco after signing with the club this past offseason. The veteran backup saw 26 snaps on offense in the loss compared to starter George Kittle's 51. Saubert won't generate much fantasy buzz in games that Kittle is active for this season.

Eric Saubert: Let go by San Fran
Eric Saubert was released by the 49ers on Tuesday.Saubert inked a deal with the 49ers in April and was expected to primarily serve as a reserve blocking tight end. The 30-year-old made a push for a spot on the roster this preseason, but the team will instead roll with Jake Tonges as its lone backup behind starter George Kittle. Across 10 regular-season appearances with the Texans and Cowboys last season, Saubert caught three passes for 12 yards and worked mostly as a special-teamer.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Eying No. 2 role this preseason
Eric Saubert has two receptions (three targets) for 11 yards through two preseason games with San Francisco.The veteran addition at tight end started both exhibition games while George Kittle sat out with most of the starters on offense. Saubert is known for his blocking skills as opposed to being a vertical threat, so his preseason game log might be a good representation of the kind of fantasy numbers we will see from the 30-year-old in 2024.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Headed to Bay Area
Eric Saubert signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday.Over the course of nine regular-season games for the Texans in 2023, Saubert (who before that suited up for one contest with the Cowboys) caught all three of his targets for 12 yards. With San Francisco, Saubert will work in a depth role behind George Kittle, and in that capacity it's unlikely he'll see enough targets in 2024 to merit fantasy consideration.

Texans' Eric Saubert: Inactive for playoff loss
Eric Saubert did not suit up for Houston's 34-10 playoff loss to Baltimore last Saturday. He finished the season with three receptions on three targets for 12 yards over nine regular-season games played.The Houston Texans grabbed Saubert off the Cowboys' practice squad in response to a rash of midseason injuries at tight end. Houston still has Brevin Jordan and Teagan Quitoriano (groin) under contract and will likely make a push to bring back unrestricted free agent Dalton Schultz. As such, Saubert is unlikely to return to Houston for the 2024 season.
