Tonges Becomes 49ers' Lead TE After Kittle Injury, Catches 14 Yards in Playoff Win

Jake Tonges caught one of three targets for 14 yards in the 49ers' 23-19 Wild Card win over the Eagles. He entered the game after George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles injury in the second quarter and is now set to become the team's lead tight end for the remainder of the playoffs and potentially early next season. Tonges has previously proven to be a viable receiving threat when Kittle was inactive, averaging 4.8 receptions, 44.8 yards, and 0.5 touchdowns across six games this season. He leapfrogs Luke Farrell on the depth chart and is expected to be a value play in DFS formats against Seattle in the divisional round.
