Reverts to reserve role
Tonges logged eight snaps on offense (12 percent) and was not targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
George Kittle (hamstring) was activated from injured reserve for Sunday's contest, which pushed Tonges back down to third on the tight end depth chart. Luke Farrell (33 percent) finished second in playing time behind Kittle (81 percent), as it appears that the coaching staff prefers the former's blocking in the No. 2 role over Tonges' play-making ability. Tonges did an admirable job filling in for Kittle, producing a 25-224-3 receiving line in five-plus games played. Fantasy managers can safely move on from Tonges in Week 8, but he is a name to remember for any games Kittle might miss in the future.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
After spending the entire 2023 campaign hidden on San Francisco's practice squad, Tonges was a surprise addition to the 49ers' 2024 53-man roster. With 2023 third-round pick Cameron Latu latching on with Cleveland in the aftermath, the 2022 UDFA out of the University of California leapfrogged up the depth chart to become one of George Kittle's primary backups. With just one official target and no receptions in his first two years in the NFL, we may finally get a glimpse of how Tonges operates as backup tight end in Kyle Shanahan's complex offensive scheme.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Steps up after Kittle injury
Tonges could be in line for a larger role in the coming weeks, as Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports that George Kittle will have an MRI within the next 24 hours to determine the severity of the hamstring injury he suffered in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Tonges came into Sunday's game without a catch in 20 NFL games, but he stepped up after Kittle's injury with three catches for 15 yards, including the game-winning four-yard touchdown catch with 1:34 left in the fourth quarter. Luke Farrell had one catch for four yards against Seattle and could also see additional opportunities if Kittle's hamstring injury sidelines the star tight end for additional game action.
