49ers' Eric Saubert: Solid in backup role
Saubert recorded 11 receptions for 97 yards and a touchdown across 17 games this season.
The veteran tight end was brought in to serve as a reliable backup to superstar tight end George Kittle in 2024. Saubert filled that role well, providing his usual strong blocking and sure hands while making two spot-starts for San Francisco. The 31-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent after completing his one-year deal with the 49ers.

49ers' Eric Saubert: No targets in Week 15
Saubert played 17 of the 49ers' 54 snaps on offense and went without a target in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams.
Since playing a season-high 55 snaps in a Week 11 loss to the Seahawks while starting in place of the injured George Kittle, Saubert's role on offense has predictably been scaled back in recent weeks. While Kittle has suited up in each of the ensuing four contests, Saubert has drawn just two total targets and has played less than one-third of the offensive snaps in every game.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Catches one ball in spot-start
Saubert (illness) recorded one reception for seven yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.
The 49ers ruled George Kittle (hamstring) inactive prior to Sunday's kickoff, opening the door for Saubert to fill in as the starting tight end. The veteran backup had to overcome an illness himself in order to suit up against the Seahawks. Saubert got through the contest without issue, but he was unable to replicate the kind of numbers we have come to expect from his star teammate. Kittle's targets are usually dispersed to other skill positions when he's sidelined, leaving little fantasy potential for Saubert in spot starts.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Logs 18 snaps with Kittle back
Saubert did not receive a target in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Patriots, logging 18 snaps on offense (29 percent) while playing 20 on special teams.
Saubert reverted to his expected backup role after starter George Kittle (4-45-1) returned from a one-game absence. The veteran backup saw his role diminish on offense after gaining 41 yards on two receptions in last week's spot start for Kittle. Saubert can only operate as a deep-league fantasy option in games that Kittle misses, which does not appear to be the situation for this coming Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Posts 41 yards in Sunday's start
Saubert had two receptions on as many targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.
Saubert received a bump up the depth chart prior to Sunday's defeat after starter George Kittle (hamstring) was ruled out late in the practice week. The veteran backup performed well in the star's absence, but he didn't see his usage increase over last week's two-catch performance. There's a chance Kittle returns for the 49ers' upcoming tilt against the Patriots, so Saubert's time as the club's starting tight end may be short-lived.

49ers' Eric Saubert: Records two receptions Sunday
Saubert finished with two receptions on as many targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.
Saubert failed to bring in his lone target against the Jets in Week 1, officially recording his first reception with San Francisco after signing with the club this past offseason. The veteran backup saw 26 snaps on offense in the loss compared to starter George Kittle's 51. Saubert won't generate much fantasy buzz in games that Kittle is active for this season.
