Kyle better not shelf my guy once Kittle is back. Get this guy reps especially with all the WRs hurting.

He's definitely getting shelved, I don't see him taking Farrels spot. We need to keep him on the roster though he's developing well

hes one of the guys who was developed pretty much by the Niners. He started off as udfa on some practice squads, bounced around got picked up by the Niners stayed on the PS and rose up to occasion and made the team. kinda a feel good story for a local kid who was a college walk-on.

Looks so much better than Luke Farrell, out big FA splash. They should trade paychecks

I always thought Tonges was a blocking TE but he's getting open and making some traffic catches

This guy is a stud and we found our #2 TE. Consistently making plays every week, tough, and clutch.

Only bad thing to say is too bad money was wasted on Luke Farrell but its minor in the grand scheme of things.

I'm really looking forward to him having a bad play in a crucial moment so that our fickle fan base can turn on him like they do to any player that has success and then inevitably has a bad play or two.
