2025 Fantasy Outlook
San Francisco's front office opted to go younger at the defensive tackle position in 2025 after the veteran combo of Javon Hargrave and Maliek Collins fell flat last year. The team selected the younger Alfred Collins (no relation to Maliek) in the second round with the intention of the Texas product playing a prominent role on the interior D-line under returning defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.

Signed a four-year, $10.31 million contract with the 49ers in July of 2025.
Sustains knee sprain in Week 5 win
Collins sprained his knee during the 49ers' 26-23 overtime win over the Rams on Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Collins made arguably the play of the game Thursday when he punched the ball out of Kyren Williams' arms at the one-yard line late in the fourth quarter, and Collins was able to recover to give the 49ers possession. Collins appears to have come out of the contest worse for wear with a knee sprain, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and his chances of playing in Week 6 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Oct. 12. Collins' presence moving forward is crucial for the 49ers, especially with starting defensive tackle Kalia Davis set to undergo surgery to repair a broken hand that he sustained during Thursday's win. If Collins is also sidelined, rookie fourth-rounder CJ West would be in line to see a heavy dose of snaps at defensive tackle alongside Jordan Elliott.
