San Francisco 49ers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 49ers surprisingly doled out a three-year, $20.25 million contract to a backup tight end who averaged just 9.0 receptions, 79.5 yards and no touchdowns per season across four campaigns (66 games) with Jacksonville. Farrell's real-world value lies in his ability as a run blocker, but that translates poorly into fantasy utility. Starting TE George Kittle usually misses a game or two per year due to injury, but Farrell's limited skill set won't make him a desirable substitute in those scenarios. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
Farrell is coming off his most productive season as a pass catcher as he set career highs in receptions (13) and receiving yards (155), though he's still looking for his first NFL touchdown. The 2021 fifth-rounder played 398 offensive snaps as Jacksonville's No. 2 tight end behind Evan Engram and could fill the same role in 2024. However, 2023 second-round pick Brenton Strange and free-agent signing Josiah Deguara should also push for that job.
Farrell's second NFL campaign went similar to his rookie year, and he finished 2022 with four receptions for 40 yards in 17 contests. The 2021 fifth-rounder played just 94 offensive snaps and saw most of his action on special teams. Evan Engram is back as Jacksonville's top tight end, and second-round rookie Brenton Strange is a decent bet to earn the No. 2 job, likely leaving Farrell to serve as a depth option once again.
Farrell caught 20 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown during his sophomore season at Ohio State, but over the last two years he had 12 catches for 156 yards and three scores. The Jaguars selected him during the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and he profiles similarly to the team's top tight end Chris Manhertz as a blocking specialist. Farrell thus figures to see most of his work out of the gate as a blocker, with Manhertz and James O'Shaughnessy likely to open the season atop the depth chart.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential late-round gem?
TEFree Agent
April 23, 2021
Bob McGinn of The Athletic believes Farrell could be an "unsung hero" of the 2021 draft class.
ANALYSIS
Farrell was a three-year starter at Ohio State, where tight ends were primarily tasked with blocking. He finishes his college career with only 34 catches, but a 4.81-second 40-yard dash time at Ohio State's pro day suggests Farrell may have some untapped athletic ability. It remains to be seen if he's selected in the NFL Draft or signed as a free agent afterwards.
