In the 28th of a 32-part series, we are featuring all National Football League teams with a prediction of where each team will finish within their division, key off-season acquisitions and their top fantasy stars. Here are the San Francisco 49ers.
Key Off-Season Acquisitions
The 49ers acquired two notable players in the offseason. One player was via trade and the other via free agency.
San Francisco signed tight end Luke Farrell of Perry, Ohio to a thee year contract worth $15.75 million. This free agent signing is rather interesting. That is because the 49ers already have the best tight end in the NFL heading into the season in George Kittle of Madison, Wisconsin.
Farrell has spent the last four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2024 he had 12 catches for 67 receiving yards.
The 49ers also acquired running back Brian Robinson of Tuscaloosa, Alabama in a trade to backup Christian McCaffrey of Castle Rock, Colorado. When healthy, McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in the NFL. In the deal, Robinson was traded from the Washington Commanders to the 49ers for a sixth round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. It is interesting that the Commanders and 49ers made two offseason trades, with the other having wide receiver Deebo Samuel of Inman, South Carolina going from San Francisco to Washington.
This past season, Robinson had 187 rushes for 799 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. He added 20 catches for 159 receiving yards. Robinson has played the last three seasons with the Commanders.
Fantasy Star
Kittle is the number one tight end in football at the moment. In 2024, he had 78 catches for 1106 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
Projected Finish
The 49ers did not meet expectations last year. They were shockingly last in the NFC West at six wins and 11 losses, after reaching the Super Bowl the year before. If McCaffrey stays healthy (had an Achilles and knee injury last season), if the wide receiver group stays healthy, and players make smarter off field decisions (wide receiver DeMarcus Robinson has been suspended three games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy), then the 49ers could return to the top of the division.
