# Jake Tonges

NFL player. Position: **TE**. Team: **SF**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** TE
- **Team:** SF (San Francisco 49ers)
- **Bye week (2026):** 8
- **Background:** 2022 undrafted free agent who has developed into a capable backup

## 2026 Outlook

Tonges earned a 77.9 offensive grade from PFF in 2025 and cracked their top 20 tight ends list. He stepped up significantly when George Kittle was injured, catching 40 passes for 366 yards and 5 TDs in 17 games. Despite limited snaps in some contests, Tonges showed both run-blocking prowess (74.4 PFF grade, fifth-best among TEs) and big-play ability, including a 90.3 grade in the divisional-round win against Seattle. With Kittle recovering from a torn Achilles, Tonges will likely see significant early-season snaps and could maintain value even once Kittle returns. (per 49ers' George Kittle is PFF's top TE — but can he return to form?)

## Role / Depth Chart

Backup tight end. Likely to see significant snaps early in 2026 while Kittle recovers; role may diminish once Kittle returns to full health.
