2025 Fantasy Outlook
Winters saw his usage ramp up as a sophomore, as he started 10 out of 15 games while racking up 44 tackles over 385 snaps on defense. The departure of Dre Greenlaw to Denver has opened up a starting job next to All-Pro Fred Warner. The 24-year-old Winters and third-round pick Nick Martin are two names that could seize the vacant gig, while the other will likely slide over to the less-prominent Sam linebacker position.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competition incoming via trade
LBSan Francisco 49ers
June 1, 2025
Winters could face competition for playing time at weakside linebacker, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Philadelphia is working to finalize a trade that will send Bryce Huff to San Francisco in exchange for a mid-round future draft pick.
ANALYSIS
Huff had 10.0 sacks with the Jets in 2023 but was limited to 2.5 sacks in 12 regular-season appearances for the Eagles in 2024 after signing a three-year, $51.1 million contract. He would likely fit as a situational pass rusher in San Francisco on a reworked contract, which could cut into the playing time of Winters, who made 10 starts for the 49ers in 2024.
