49ers' Luke Farrell: No receptions Sunday
Luke 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
Luke 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
Luke 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 San Francisco 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: Increased reps on tap
Luke Farrell and Jake Tonges are in line for increased snaps, beginning Sunday versus the Saints, with starting tight end George Kittle (hamstring) having been placed on IR and out a minimum of four games, Dianna Russini, Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic report.Farrell played more offensive snaps (44) than Tonges (28) after Kittle's early departure in Week 1. Nonetheless, he finished with just one catch for four yards on his only target, while Tonges brought in all three of his targets for 15 yards and a score. Farrell solidified himself as a blocking specialist with the Jaguars from 2021-24, in which span he totaled just 36 receptions despite suiting up for 66 regular-season games, so while he seems like the favorite to lead the San Francisco 49ers tight end position in snaps for as long as Kittle is sidelined, the majority of pass-catching work could go Tonges' way.

49ers' Luke Farrell: Catches one pass Sunday
Luke 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 San Francisco 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: No targets in Week 8
Luke Farrell played 31 of the Jacksonville Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 32-16 win over the Patriots.After drawing either one or two targets from Weeks 2 through 5, Farrell has seen his already minimal role in the passing game disappear since top tight end Evan Engram returned from a hamstring injury Week 6. Farrell wasn't targeted in either of the past two contests, though he played double-digit snaps on both occasions thanks to his blocking skills.

Jaguars' Luke Farrell: Secures both targets
Luke 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.
