  • Restructures deal

    Juszczyk and the 49ers have agreed to a restructured contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Makes impact play Sunday

    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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Gets green light

    Juszczyk (illness) will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Late addition to injury report

    Juszczyk (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

    Analysis: Juszczyk was added to Saturday's injury report after picking up an illness. With San Francisco locked into the top seed in the NFC, the team could elect to sit the 11-year fullback out of Harvard. Juszczyk has five rushes for six yards in addition to 14 catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns over 16 games this season.

  • Goes untargeted in win

    Juszczyk didn't draw a target while playing 22 of the 49ers' 59 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: 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…read more

  • Catches second TD of season

    Juszczyk had two receptions on three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-3 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Juszczyk hit pay dirt for the second time this season when he broke loose across the middle and took a well-placed pass from Brock Purdy to the house. The 22-yard reception also represented a new season high for the versatile fullback. Juice has now scored 21 total touchdowns over his impressive career, but the lack of a fullback position in fantasy lineups eliminates any potential for value.

  • Hauls in lone target

    Juszczyk reeled in his lone target for a nine-yard reception in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Juszczyk went without a target or carry in the 49ers' first two games, but he's since seen his touches tick up a bit over the last four contests. After recording four catches in the 49ers' 42-10 drubbing of the Cowboys in Week 5, the fullback took a step back in terms of involvement Sunday but still tied for his longest gain of the season. Even with halfback Christian McCaffrey (oblique/ribs) potentially at risk of missing Monday's game at Minnesota, Juszczyk isn't expected to be a major…read more

  • Another Pro Bowl season

    Juszczyk carried once for three yards and recorded a 26-yard reception in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The fullback finished the regular season with 26 rushing yards and a touchdown to go with 200 receiving yards and another score across 16 games. His contributions as a pass catcher and as a pivotal blocker in the run game earned Juszczyk his seventh consecutive Pro Bowl nod. Juszczyk is under contract with San Francisco through 2025, and though he's viewed as a critical piece in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offensive scheme, the 31-year-old offers minimal value to fantasy managers.

  • Remains involved in passing attack

    Juszczyk recorded two receptions for seven yards on two targets in Sunday's 35-7 win over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The fullback took on a season-high 68 percent share in the victory and drew multiple targets for the third game in a row. With the 49ers set to play without jack-of-all-trades wideout Deebo Samuel for at least the next two games, Juszczyk could indirectly absorb some of Samuel's vacated snaps and touches. Tight end George Kittle and wideouts Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are still more likely than Juszczyk to be consistent producers in the passing game in Samuel's absence.

  • Two catches in win

    Juszczyk recorded two receptions for two yards while playing 30 of the 49ers' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-0 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Though he wasn't able to do much with his pair of catches, Juszczyk was at least able to end a two-game drought without a target. The 31-year-old continues to enjoy fairly steady usage relative to most fullbacks around the league, but he doesn't get enough touches on a weekly basis to attract much interest even in deeper fantasy formats.

  • Full practice participant Wednesday

    Juszczyk (finger) logged a full practice session Wednesday.

    Analysis: Juszczyk suffered a finger injury Week 7 against the Chiefs and was forced to sit out a Week 8 win over the Rams. However, the 49ers' Week 9 bye gave the fullback time to get healthy, and he appears on track to return to action against the Chargers on Sunday night.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Juszczyk (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Juszczyk won't play Sunday after undergoing surgery to repair a broken finger on his right hand earlier in the week. While the fullback isn't a prolific producer, his blocking prowess will certainly be missed during a divisional showdown against Los Angeles.

  • Likely out Week 8

    Juszczyk underwent surgery on his broken right finger Monday and probably won't play against the Rams in Week 8, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk broke his finger in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but he still managed to return and finish out the remainder of this contest. The 31-year-old fullback has caught 11 of his 15 targets for 153 yards and recorded three rushes for 10 yards and a touchdown this season, though his biggest impact has come as a blocker in the 49ers' running game. Juszczyk's participation in practice Wednesday should shed more light on his availability against the Rams on Sunday.

  • Suffers finger injury in loss

    Juszczyk suffered a broken right ring finger in Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk briefly exited the contest in the third quarter but returned to record two receptions for 17 yards in the fourth quarter. The fullback will have surgery to insert a pin in his finger this week but plans on playing with a splint in Week 8 against the Rams. His status is worth monitoring moving forward, but he appears likely to play through the injury.

  • Notches two receptions Week 5

    Juszczyk hauled in two targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 37-15 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: The fullback played more than 50 percent of the 49ers' offensive snaps for the fourth straight game and set a new season high with the two receptions. Though he touches the ball more than most fullbacks around the NFL, Juszczyk's role is still too small for him to make a significant imprint on the box score on a game-by-game basis. He's best viewed as little more than a punt-play option on a showdown slate for a DFS contest rather than someone worth considering in weekly lineups in redraft…read more

  • Scores on short TD plunge

    Juszczyk recorded one yard and a touchdown on two carries and failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-7 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: With top back Elijah Mitchell (knee) out of the lineup Week 2, Juszczyk only saw a small uptick in offensive usage, playing 50 percent of the snaps against the Seahawks after checking in at 37 percent in the Week 1 loss to the Bears. No. 2 back Tyrion Davis-Price (ankle) suffered an injury Sunday that will likely sideline him for several weeks, but Juszczyk is unlikely to be a major beneficiary, as the 49ers are instead expected to promote Marlon Mack from the practice squad to have him or…read more

  • Options picked up

    The 49ers have picked up Juszczyk's option for the 2023 through 2025 seasons, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk has been with the 49ers for the past five years, and now he's on track to remain with the club for the next four seasons. The 30-year-old appeared in all 17 games last year and rushed eight times for 22 yards and a touchdown while securing 30 of 38 targets for 296 yards and a score.

  • Posts 318 combined yards this year

    Juszczyk finished the 2021 regular season with 22 rushing yards, 296 receiving yards and two combined touchdowns across 17 games.

    Analysis: Juszczyk turned in another All-Pro level season as one of the most versatile fullbacks in the league. As usual, that production did not translate into fantasy value, as his current role on offense doesn't generate enough touches. Juice is under contract until 2025, so he will be paving paths for Elijah Mitchell and Co. in 2022.

  • Sets new season high in receiving

    Juszczyk hauled in three of five targets for 45 yards in Thursday's 20-17 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Juszczyk set new season highs in yards and targets as he continued to flash his versatility from the fullback position. The 30-year-old could have had a career day when he lined up wide and ran a crisp crossing route with Brandon Aiyuk that sprung Juice free. Unfortunately for San Francisco, Jimmy Garoppolo airmailed his wide-open man, leaving a 40-yard touchdown on the table. Juszczyk is a unique talent that has playmaking skills at an endangered position, but he doesn't receive enough…read more

  • Scores first rushing TD this year

    Juszczyk converted his lone rushing attempt into a six-yard touchdown and caught his lone target for six more yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over Atlanta.

    Analysis: Juszczyk is known for making his yearly statistical contributions in the passing game (25-242-1 in 2021), but he is being highlighted for his rushing in this one. The 30-year-old had a fullback dive drawn up for him to convert a third-and-short, but he barreled through the Falcons' defense and finished the job off himself. Juice will likely pop up in the running back waiver wire pool if you sort by points scored last week, but fantasy managers should remember that a lack of a fullback position…read more

  • Gains 21 yards in loss

    Juszczyk recorded two receptions for 21 yards on three targets in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Juszczyk has held a consistent tertiary role in the 49ers' passing attack throughout the season, drawing at least one target in all but one of his 12 appearances on the campaign. With 23 receptions for 231 yards on the campaign, Juszczyk has already surpassed his output in both categories from a full 16-game slate in 2020, though he's scored five fewer touchdowns.

  • Posts 35 yards receiving in loss

    Juszczyk rushed once for no gain and caught three of four targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Juszczyk continues to fill a valuable role for San Francisco in the absence of injured running backs and tight ends. This time he took on a larger receiving role while George Kittle (calf) mends on IR for at least three games. Juice is clearly the best fullback in the league, but his lack of a true fantasy position limits his utility.

  • Sees uptick in usage

    Juszczyk rushed five times for 14 yards and had four receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-28 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: The 49ers only utilized starting running back Trey Sermon on offense, opting to increase Juszczyk's role instead of using the slew of relative newcomers behind Sermon on the depth chart. Juice generally only receives a couple of touches per game, but this increased role could continue if previous starting replacement Elijah Mitchell (shoulder) is unable to suit up against Seattle next Sunday.

    Juszczyk excited Sunday's contest against the Eagles with cramps, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk caught two passes for 15 yards and rushed one time for two yards. The 30-year-old experienced cramps on the 49ers' final offensive possession and had to leave the field. The issue doesn't appear to be serious.

  • Catches one pass

    Juszczyk secured his lone target for seven yards during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old played 36 percent of the team's offensive snaps and didn't earn any touches or looks beyond the lone target. Even with Raheem Mostert (knee) set to miss the rest of the season, Juszczyk isn't expected to see much of a spike in carries and will remain a peripheral option in the passing game.

  • Staying in SF on five-year deal

    Juszczyk signed a five-year, $27 million contract to remain with the 49ers on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Widely regarded as the best fullback in the league, Juszczyk will be paid like it. Keeping the versatile weapon in the fold was a priority for the 49ers given how important Juszczyk is as a blocker, pass catcher and short-yardage runner, and the two sides were finally able to hammer out a deal just before free agency opened up.

  • Career-high six touchdowns

    Juszczyk finished the 2020 season with career highs in rushing yards (64) and touchdowns (two) while contributing his usual production as a receiver (19 receptions for 202 yards and four scores) across 16 games.

    Analysis: Juszczyk is an elite blocker and receiver out of the backfield, but he finally added the most common offensive tool for a fullback -- short-yardage runs -- to his Swiss Army knife profile of tools. Even with the new high-water mark of six total touchdowns, the All-Pro continues to be hampered by the lack of a fullback position in standard fantasy formats. Unless the next generation of creative offensive minds has a gameplan surrounded around featuring the fullback, Juice will continue to be an…read more

  • Scores twice

    Juszczyk recorded two receptions on three targets for 10 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Cardinals. He added one rush for three yards.

    Analysis: Juszczyk made the most of his limited touches, hauling in touchdown receptions of nine and one yard. Though his volume remains insignificant, Juszczyk has found the end zone four times in his last four games. He'll look to take one more trip to the end zone in Week 17 against Seattle to close the campaign.

    Juszczyk rushed one time for three yards and caught two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Juszczyk extended his touchdown streak to two games and now has four combined scores on the year (two rushing and two receiving). The versatile fullback remains the top receiving threat at his position with 15 receptions for 163 yards through 13 contests, but he has also been used more as a rusher with new career highs in carries (13), rushing yards (57) and rushing touchdowns (two).

    Juszczyk had two carries for five yards and caught a six-yard touchdown during Monday's 34-24 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old played a season-low 14 offensive snaps but was still able to find the end zone for his first receiving touchdown of the season. Juszczyk has 12 carries for 54 yards and 13 receptions for 148 yards with three total touchdowns in 2020.

  • Logs 32 scrimmage yards

    Juszczyk registered eight yards on a pair of carries, adding two receptions for 24 yards during Sunday's 23-20 win against the Rams. He also fumbled once, but the ball rolled out of bounds.

    Analysis: The fullback's greatest contribution came in crunch time, as his two-yard carry on a 4th-and-1 with 35 seconds to go in the fourth quarter helped move San Francisco into range for a walk-off 42-yard field goal from Robbie Gould. His pass-catching numbers are notable as well, with Juszczyk's 24 receiving yards marking his greatest output since he posted a 41-yard catch Week 1 against Arizona. He has two touchdowns on the season, as the 49ers prepare to host the Bills out of a temporary home in…read more

  • Rushes for second touchdown

    Juszczyk had four carries for 18 yards and one touchdown and caught one of two targets for 18 yards during Sunday's 33-6 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old entered Week 7 with only three carries for 18 yards all season, but he was more involved in the run game versus New England. Juszczyk could continue to see more involvment with Tevin Coleman (knee) Raheem Mostert (ankle) and Jeff Wilson (ankle) sidelined, but he's unlikely to enter fantasy relevance. Jerick McKinnon and JaMycal Hasty should handle most of the backfield touches for the 49ers.

  • Scores first rushing TD in SF

    Juszczyk rushed twice for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 43-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: It was surprisingly Juszczyk's first rushing touchdown with the 49ers since joining the team back in 2017. The versatile fullback generally does his damage in the passing game, but he has been limited to just five receptions so far through five contests. As per usual, Juice will carry more real-life value over fantasy heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Rams.

  • One catch in win

    Juszczyk caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 36-9 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: It has been a quiet couple of weeks for Juszczyk (three receptions for 13 yards) following his big 41-yard reception back in Week 1. The versatile fullback provides so much for the 49ers that doesn't show up on the stat sheet, and while he will occasionally have a big play drawn up for him, there isn't enough consistency here to warrant fantasy consideration.

    Analysis: Head coach Kyle Shanahan drew up a play for his fullback, and Juszczyk rewarded the decision by getting open in the secondary for a huge gain. The 29-year-old caught the Cardinals off guard, but those familiar with the versatile back's game are aware of his ability rip off the occasional big play (23 receptions for 278 yards and two touchdowns last season).

  • Back in action

    Juszczyk (hamstring) returned to team activities Monday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: "Juice" was one of many 49ers to suffer mild hamstring strains earlier in camp, and like a few of his comrades, he was able to return to action Monday, putting him in line to suit up against the Cardinals in Week 1. The Swiss-army knife will make the occasional flashy play out of the backfield, but his main priority will be to help pave lanes for the fast rushing attack instilled by head coach Kyle Shanahan.

  • Has hamstring strain

    Coach Kyle Shanahan called Juszczyk "week-to-week" due to a strained hamstring, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: And the injuries just keep coming for the defending NFC champions. Juszczyk may be the most versatile fullback in the league and has posted at least 200 yards receiving in five consecutive campaigns, so his status will be one to watch as Week 1 approaches.

  • Sticking in San Francisco

    The 49ers picked up Jusczyk's 2020 option Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Niners could have saved $5.45 million against the salary cap next year by letting Juszcyk go, but the fullback's versatility will keep him around for another year. The 28-year-old rushed three times for seven yards and caught 20 of 24 targets for 239 yards and a score over 12 games in 2019, and he added a touchdown reception in the Super Bowl as well.

  • Scores on big stage

    Juszczyk hauled in all three of his targets for 39 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 31-20 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: In addition to his contributions as a receiver, Juszczyk performed to his usual exceptional level as a blocker on offense. The versatile fullback's touchdown came via hauling in a 15-yard pass midway through the second quarter. Though he isn't a candidate to inch onto the fantasy radar, Juszczyk's continued presence in San Francisco will remain key for the team's plans on offense. He'll enter the final year of his contract in 2020.

  • Sets up touchdown

    Juszczyk caught his lone target for a 49-yard gain during Sunday's 26-21 win over Seattle.

    Analysis: The fullback delivered some devastating blocks out of the backfield Sunday, but his biggest play came as a receiver midway through the third quarter when he stutter-stepped his defender and got open downfield for a long gain that set up a Raheem Mostert touchdown. Thanks to Juszczyk's efforts, the 49ers will have a bye this coming week and will take on the Eagles, Seahawks or Vikings in the divisional round. Sunday's reception was the only touch Juszczyk recorded against any of those teams this…read more

  • Scores short touchdown

    Juszczyk had two carries for one yard and two receptions for six yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-22 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Juszczyk recovered a fumble on punt coverage and nearly broke the plane of the end zone, so coach Kyle Shanahan rewarded his fullback by drawing up two plays to eventually get him the score. The versatile blocker has five catches over his last two contests but also had zero touches over his previous two, highlighting the lack of fantasy value heading into Week 16.

  • Returns to contest

    Juszczyk returned to Sunday's game against the Saints after being evaluated for a concussion, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: After getting dinged up in the fourth quarter, the 28-year-old fullback was deemed fine after further evaluation. Juszczyk will continue to pave the way for the 49ers' running backs while occasionally contributing in the passing game.

  • Evaluated for head injury

    Juszczyk left Sunday's game against the Saints and is being evaluated for a concussion, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk suffered the injury on a hit directly to the head after he caught a pass in the fourth quarter and was visibly shaken up. He'll enter the league's mandated concussion protocol and well need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before returning.

  • Season-high receiving total

    Juszczyk had seven catches for 63 yards in Sunday's 36-26 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: Juszczyk set new season highs in receptions, yards and targets in one fell swoop. The versatile fullback was targeted just nine times over his previous five healthy contests, which was a bit surprising given the lack of receiving talent that San Francisco brings to the table. Juice had stretches of flirting with deep-league value (even as a fullback) over his first two seasons in San Francisco, so maybe this strong outing will earn the 28-year-old more looks down the stretch.

  • Targeted in loss

    Juszczyk was unable to haul in his lone target of Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Juszczyk didn't earn a touch in his Monday return from a knee injury, but he did make a difference early, sealing off a block to help spring Tevin Coleman for a 22-yard gain midway through the first quarter. Juszczyk has been a solid enough receiver out of the backfield in recent seasons to warrant potential consideration on bye-heavy weeks, but an injury-plagued 2019 has held him to just seven total touches for 82 yards this season. Next up is an Arizona team that ranks 31st in total defense.

  • Sheds knee injury

    Juszczyk (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's prime-time contest against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk's status is surprisingly critical, as the 49ers are expected to be without their star tight end, George Kittle (knee/ankle), heading into the pivotal contest. The All-Pro fullback was mentioned by head coach Kyle Shanahan as a potential fill-in for Kittle, suggesting the respective players' roles aren't much different than the other, although Juszczyk's running back designation won't necessarily help fantasy owners hoping to replace the productive tight end.

  • Returns to practice

    Juszczyk (knee) was participating in Tuesday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Juszczyk's level of participation remains unclear since the 49ers won't have an official injury report until Thursday, but it's nonetheless a good sign about his potential return. The 28-year-old was given a four- to six-week recovery timeline after suffering an MCL sprain Oct. 7, and Monday's game against the Seahawks would be the five-week mark. In fact, Jusczyk told David Lombardi of The Athletic he feels "100 percent" and is on track to play Monday.
