2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bucky Irving was a smash success for the Buccaneers in 2024, so James must have some amount of innate running ability after largely matching Irving's rushing production at Oregon in 2023. Selected in the fifth round by San Francisco, James (5-10, 205) probably is not as good of a receiver as Irving, and James played fewer passing-down snaps in general than Irving did at Oregon. With just 4.55 speed James will need to win with quick processing and well-anchored movements through traffic to cut out yardage despite the inability to outrun or overpower most defensive pursuers. Limited as his athleticism might be, James was a uniquely productive runner at Oregon, accumulating 2,215 yards (5.7 YPC) and 31 touchdowns on 386 carries. He'll nonetheless face a difficult path to Year 1 playing time, likely sitting behind Christian McCaffrey, Isaac Guerendo and Brian Robinson on the depth chart. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Signed a four-year, $4.64 million contract with the 49ers in May of 2025.
Inactive Sunday
James (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Browns, Briana Jeannel of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fifth-rounder was inactive with a finger injury in Week 1. Since then, he's been a healthy scratch. James can't seem to crack a depth chart led by Christian McCaffrey, Brian Robinson and Isaac Guerendo.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fifth-round pick in Reuter's mock
Friday's five-round mock draft from Chad Reuter of NFL.com has James going to the Dolphins in the fifth round.
ANALYSIS
Draftniks are torn on James, as Dane Brugler of The Athletic had James ranked as the 62nd overall prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class earlier in the offseason, but Reuter has the 5-foot-10, 205-pound running back staying on the board until well into Day 3. James lacks the top-end speed possessed by some other members of this deep running back class, but he was a reliable chain mover at Oregon in 2024, with 36.5 percent of his carries resulting in a touchdown or first down.
