Week 16 at Tennessee Titans
Kyle Juszczyk vultured a touchdown last week, but he had just two total touches on the day and simply doesn’t get enough work to warrant serious fantasy consideration. Keep him on waivers.
Week 14 at Cincinnati Bengals
Kyle Juszczyk had two catches for 21 yards last week. Even if Elijah Mitchell is out, Juszczyk doesn’t get enough touches to warrant serious fantasy consideration. Leave him on waivers in all league formats.
Week 13 at Seattle Seahawks
Kyle Juszczyk caught two balls for 37 yards last week. He has potential as a pass-catcher and caught four balls against the Seahawks earlier this season. However, he only has seven carries and 25 targets all season, so it’s hard to roster someone with so few touches. Leave him on waivers.
Week 8 at Chicago Bears
Kyle Juszczyk didn’t register a target or a carry last week and JaMycal Hasty had six targets. I’m sure Juszczyk will continue to get a few balls thrown his way and will vulture a touchdown from time to time, but trying to predict when he’s going to be fantasy relevant is too frustrating for fantasy managers to roster him. With the 49ers’ backfield starting to get healthy, Juszczyk should return to the waiver wire from whence he came.
Week 7 vs. Indianapolis Colts
Kyle Juszczyk has been catching passes in a supplemental role for the 49ers, but with Elijah Mitchell likely back to full strength, it’s risky to bank on a vultured touchdown or a big receiving day from the veteran fullback. If you’re desperate in a PPR league, you could try throwing him in lineups as a healthy body, but if you can find a better option with a shot at more touches, look elsewhere.
Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks
Kyle Juszczyk had a solid outing on Sunday night against the Packers, with 14 yards on five carries and four receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown in the passing game. With so many injuries at the position, it was good to see the 49ers using Juszczyk in more creative ways. Expecting nine touches again seems like a stretch, even in a nice matchup against the Seahawks, however, so fantasy managers should probably steer clear. If he doesn’t vulture a touchdown, he’s unlikely to get enough volume to produce. Leave him on waivers in all but the deepest of leagues.
Week 9 vs. Green Bay Packers
Kyle Juszczyk has score a touchdown in two of his last four games, but he’s averaging just two touches per game, making it hard to trust him. I suppose he has some desperation value in touchdown-only leagues, but even then, he’s too risky to warrant any serious fantasy consideration. He should remain on waivers.
Week 17 at Seattle Seahawks
Kyle Juszczyk vultured a touchdown against the Falcons two weeks ago, but outside of his potential to do that, he has very little fantasy value. He’ll occasionally catch multiple passes as well, but there’s no indication that he’ll do that in any given week, making him far too risky to have in lineups, particularly with the championship on the line. Sit him or leave him on waivers.
Week 12 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Kyle Juszczyk had only 13 yards on three touches against the Giants before the bye last week, including a pair of receptions. While he has some talent and can vulture a touchdown occasionally, it’s Juszczyk simply doesn’t get the ball enough to warrant having him on a fantasy roster. Even in a great matchup against the Buccaneers, fantasy owners should leave him on waivers.
Week 10 vs. New York Giants
Kyle Juszczyk had three touches, including a pair of receptions, for 11 total yards last week against the Raiders. While it’s always encouraging to see Juszczyk get work, his targets and touches aren’t nearly enough to warrant serious fantasy consideration, especially while Matt Breida is healthy. His PPR value becomes mildly interesting if Breida misses extended time, but even then, he’s too risky to bank on.
