Cashes in on prime opportunity
Tonges corralled seven of nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Tonges stepped in as the 49ers' primary pass-catching tight end in place of George Kittle (ankle) on Sunday and took full advantage of the opportunity. The 25-year-old posted his best receiving line of the season while leading the 49ers in targets and receptions in the primetime win. Kittle's status for next week's matchup against Seattle -- which will determine the No. 1 seed in the NFC -- remains up in the air, but Tonges would make for a strong option in fantasy lineups if Kittle remains sidelined in Week 18.

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
Likely team's top TE for Week 17
Tonges is likely to take on a larger role Sunday against the Bears, as Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that George Kittle is considered "highly unlikely" to play due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Kittle is officially listed as questionable but seems to be trending toward sitting out Sunday night's Week 17 matchup. Tonges, Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis are the three healthy tight ends on the roster for the 49ers. When Kittle sat out Week 2 through Week 6 due to a hamstring injury, Tonges stepped up for 22 catches, 209 receiving yards and two touchdowns during that five-game span.
