2025 Projections
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.

Signed a four-year contract with the 49ers in June of 2025.
Logs full practice Wednesday
West (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fourth-rounder hyper-extended his knee in mid-August, which prevented him from playing in the 49ers' final two preseason games. West was able to open the week with a full practice, which puts him on track to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Seahawks. He's expected to serve in a rotational role at defensive tackle with Alfred Collins, Kalia Davis and Jordan Elliott.
