CJ West

23-Year-Old Defensive TackleDT
2025 Fantasy Outlook
West was the second of two interior defensive linemen that the 49ers snagged through the first four rounds of this year's draft. While Alfred Collins (43rd pick, second round) was selected ahead of West, both rookies check in north of 6-feet tall and well over 300 pounds apiece. West, in particular, moves well for his size without sacrificing the strength to push pockets back. That said, run-stopping DTs do not translate well statistically for IDP fantasy purposes.

October 2, 2025
West (thumb) is active for Thursday's game against the Rams, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
West underwent surgery to repair a thumb injury that he sustained during the 49ers' Week 3 win over the Cardinals. He was unable to play against the Jaguars on Sunday, but the rookie fourth-rounder has been cleared to play in Thursday's road tilt. West has two tackles (one solo) through the first three regular-season games of his NFL career.
