Jusczyk and the 49ers have agreed on a two-year, $8 million contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

San Francisco released Jusczyk on Monday, but the two sides came together to agree upon a quick reunion. The nine-time Pro Bowler will earn less money than last season, but the deal will allow him to remain with one of the few remaining NFL squads that still extensively uses a fullback. Though his value extends beyond statistical contributions, Jusczyk was a useful contributor on offense in 2024, posting 19 catches on 31 targets for 200 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 26 yards and another TD.

The 49ers released Juszczyk on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Juszczyk has made nine consecutive Pro Bowls as a fullback and is coming off a second-team All-Pro selection in 2024, a season in which he caught 19 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed five times for 26 yards and a third score. Juszcyzk will turn 34 years old in April and wants to continue his playing career. Releasing Juszczyk saves the Niners more than $2.9 million against the cap but leaves behind $3.57 million in dead money.

Juszczyk produced 26 rushing yards and a touchdown on five carries to go along with 19 receptions for 200 yards and a pair of scores while starting all 17 games for San Francisco this season.

EDGE Analysis

Juszczyk turned in another strong season from the near-extinct fullback position, providing the 49ers with elite blocking in addition to his services as an auxiliary receiving option. The 33-year-old will enter the second year of his restructured contract in 2025, presumably serving in a similar role, which provides great real-life value to his club despite holding little fantasy utility.

Juszczyk (illness) is absent from the 49ers' injury report ahead of Monday's matchup with the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Juszczyk popped up on the team's injury report Friday due to an illness. However, it looks like he has moved on from the issue and should be good to go Monday assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Juszczyk (illness) didn't practice Friday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran fullback popped up on San Francisco's injury report Friday as a non-participant in practice due to an illness. It's unclear if the ailment is severe enough to impact his availability for Monday night's matchup against the Lions. Juszczyk typically sees limited touches on offense, though he could get a few more than usual in Week 17 with Christian McCaffrey (knee), Jordan Mason (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) all sidelined.

Juszczyk played 27 of the 49ers' 54 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's seen a slight uptick in snaps over the past two games with both Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) out for the season, Juszczyk hasn't benefited from a usage standpoint. The veteran fullback has managed just one touch (a three-yard reception) in those two games while rookie Isaac Guerendo has dominated the opportunities out of the backfield. For the season, Juszczyk has carried four times for 20 yards and a touchdown to go with 15 receptions for 122 yards on 23 targets over 14 games.

Juszczyk went without a carry or target while playing 25 of the 49ers' 64 offensive snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

With tailback Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) making his season debut in Week 10, the 49ers didn't waste any touches on Juszczyk, who had carried the ball three times for 21 yards and a touchdown to go with four receptions for 16 yards on eight targets across the previous three contests. While Juszczyk should continue to have a regular role on offense every week, he'll be deployed primarily as a blocker and only occasionally as a route runner whenever he's on the field.

Juszczyk (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice session.

EDGE Analysis

Juszczyk is considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury he picked up during Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots. That didn't appear to hold him back during Wednesday's practice session, and barring any setbacks, he should be good to go for Week 5 against the Cardinals. Juszczyk has caught seven passes (on 10 targets) for 77 yards through the first four games of the regular season.

Juszczyk is considered day-to-day due to a shoulder injury, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Juszczyk presumably picked up the injury in Sunday's 30-13 victory over the Patriots. The veteran fullback caught his only target and tallied 12 yards in the contest. The 49ers host the Cardinals this coming Sunday.

Juszczyk recorded three receptions for 19 yards on five targets in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Though Jordan Mason has logged 20-plus carries in both of the 49ers' first two games in the absence of Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), Mason hasn't assumed McCaffrey's high-volume role in the passing game, logging just two targets. Mason's lack of involvement on passing downs has paved the way for Juszczyk to see more looks as a checkdown target for quarterback Brock Purdy, with the fullback's five targets Sunday representing his most in a game since the 2021 season. Juszczyk still isn't seeing enough volume as a pass catcher to put himself on the fantasy radar, however, and he has yet to see any use as a ball carrier through two weeks.
