Our 2026 Preseason Outlook

Dinkins arrives in San Francisco as an undrafted rookie out of Penn State, where his pass-catching usage was marginal. At 6-4 and 226 pounds, he projects as a developmental reserve added strictly to fill out the position group, and his contract reflects that bet: just $275,000 guaranteed. The market treats him accordingly, slotting him around 481st overall and 100th among tight ends while leaving him rostered in essentially zero leagues.

With no meaningful college production to extrapolate and no 2026 projection on the board, there is nothing here to chase in fantasy formats. He would need an injury ahead of him on the depth chart and a real expansion of his receiving role before warranting a roster spot. Until that happens, he belongs on the waiver wire in all standard and deep leagues, a name worth filing away only if camp reports start pointing somewhere unexpected.
