2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bartch held his own in 13 games with the 49ers last season, and he is the frontrunner to start at left guard in 2025 following the departure of Aaron Banks to Green Bay via free agency. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.34 million contract with the 49ers in February of 2025.
Heading to IR with foot sprain
Head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that Bartch will be placed on injured deserve after spraining his foot during the 49ers' 26-8 win over the Browns on Sunday, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.
ANALYSIS
A stint on injured reserve requires a player to miss at least the next four games. With the 49ers on a bye Week 14, Bartch wouldn't be eligible to be activated from IR until the playoffs, assuming San Francisco qualifies for the postseason. Spencer Burford is slated to start at left guard for at least the rest of the regular season in Bartch's absence.

Bartch started five games last season before he suffered a dislocated knee and ligament damage, and he's on the PUP list to open training camp. The 2020 fourth-round pick is expected to start at left guard once healthy, but he'll miss the first four games of the campaign if he's not activated from the PUP list by roster cutdowns.
