The San Francisco 49ers (3-1) will visit the Los Angeles Rams (3-1) in Week 5. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Jake Tonges.
Is Jake Tonges Playing in Week 5?
Tonges is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Jake Tonges in Week 5?
Jake Tonges has played over 68% of San Francisco’s offensive snaps in every game since the George Kittle injury and will be as critical to the pass game as ever tonight with Mac Jones heading an attack that is operating without Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall.
Expectations should be low, but his average depth of target has been north of eight yards in consecutive weeks, and if he can make one play down the field, that could be enough to slide him into the top 15 at the brutal tight end position this week with four teams on a bye.
