Has plantar fascia injury
Tonges suffered a plantar fascia injury in his foot during this past Saturday's divisional-round loss at Seattle, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Tonges flashed at times during the 2025 campaign when George Kittle was sidelined for a variety of injuries, totaling a 40-366-5 line on 55 targets in 19 games, including two postseason contests. He made an early exit in the third quarter of the divisional round and wasn't able to return, and now the nature of his health concern is known. Tonges has a three-week recovery on tap, so he should be fully healthy before the 49ers need to make a decision on his restricted free-agent tender in March.

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
TE1 with Kittle done for playoffs
Tonges is set to work as the 49ers' top tight end for the remainder of the playoffs, as head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed after Sunday's 23-19 playoff win over the Eagles that George Kittle tore his Achilles during the game, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
ANALYSIS
Tonges stepped up in the six games Kittle missed due to injuries during the regular season, catching 29 passes for 269 yards and two touchdowns in those games. With Kittle ruled out for the rest of the postseason, Tonges is set to take on an expanded role, starting with a trip to Seattle in the NFC divisional round to face a Seahawks defense that was comparatively worse at guarding tight ends than wide receivers and running backs in the regular season.
