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

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.
