Outlook
The catch is the depth chart. He sits behind George Kittle, so standalone value hinges entirely on Kittle's health, which already cost San Francisco seven games last year. When Kittle sat, Tonges saw six-plus targets in multiple outings and posted double-digit PPR scores. Full outlook

Jake Tonges Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE on the sideline for now
On injured reserve, knee.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE30 last season at 5.9 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 1 game he's TE98 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 5.9 over 16 games last season (TE30). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 43rd of 81 in route participation (40.1%), 35th of 82 in target share (8.4%) and 40th of 82 in efficiency (1.22 yards per route run). Route participation is the soft spot. Brock Purdy is his quarterback.
He's on injured reserve, knee. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most.
The next favorable matchup is the Commanders in Week 6 (2nd against TEs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Tonges quietly delivered when handed snaps in 2025, and the underlying numbers back up the production. Across 10 games he posted a 0.309 EPA per play and a 60.9% success rate while drawing 46 targets on just 240 routes (0.192 targets per route run). The red-zone usage stands out: seven red-zone looks, five end-zone targets, and five touchdowns on only 34 catches. He didn't drop a single ball (0% drop rate) and converted at a 73.9% catch rate, making him a trustworthy chain-mover whenever San Francisco leaned on him.
The catch is the depth chart. He sits behind George Kittle, so standalone value hinges entirely on Kittle's health, which already cost San Francisco seven games last year. When Kittle sat, Tonges saw six-plus targets in multiple outings and posted double-digit PPR scores. As a late-round dart and waiver stash, he's a legitimate streaming TE1 the moment Kittle misses time.

Jake Tonges Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Jake Tonges's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

What could hurt Jake Tonges's fantasy value?
Jake Tonges's risks: he is on injured reserve, knee and his route participation (40.1% route participation, 43rd of 81 TEs in 2025) limits his scoring. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Jake Tonges's remaining fantasy schedule?
Favorable: of his next seven games, 3 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 1 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
