Signed a one-year, $1.03 million contract with the 49ers in April of 2025.
Involvement boosted in OT win
Tonges secured seven of 11 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
The third-year tight end was due for an elevated role with Jauan Jennings (ribs, ankle) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) joining Brandon Aiyuk (PUP, knee) and George Kittle (IR, hamstring) on the sideline, and that came to fruition perhaps to an even greater degree than expected. Tonges finished tied with Kendrick Bourne for the team lead in targets, and he opened the scoring on the night with a six-yard touchdown grab to close out the opening possession of the contest. Kittle reportedly has a chance to return when first eligible in a Week 6 road matchup against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12, but Tonges has proven capable of serving as an effective complementary pass-catching option with his work during his teammate's absence.

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.
