2024 Fantasy Outlook
Greenlaw suffered a torn Achilles in Super Bowl LVIII which required surgery in the offseason. The physical linebacker has since ditched his walking boot, but his status for the start of the 2024 season remains in question. Once he's ready, Greenlaw figures to serve as a starter alongside Fred Warner as an every-down linebacker. Free-agent acquisition De'Vondre Campbell likely will fill Greenlaw's role until he's healthy. Read Past Outlooks

The 49ers moved Greenlaw (calf) to IR on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
This move had been in the cards since head coach Kyle Shanahan said last week that Greenlaw wouldn't play again this year. The veteran linebacker returned Week 15 after tearing his Achilles in the Super Bowl last year, but he emerged from that game with soreness, then suited up Week 16 against Miami and hurt his calf. Greenlaw finishes the campaign with nine tackles (six solo) on 34 defensive snaps. He'll be a free agent in the offseason.

2020
Greenlaw got healthy last year after missing all but three games in the 2021 season, posting a new career-high in tackles (127) over 15 active games. He also brought the physicality, forcing two fumbles while recording a pick-six (the second of his four-year career). Fred Warner is the big name on San Francisco's linebacking crew, but Greenlaw proved that he can play at a near Pro-Bowl level alongside the team's defensive leader, so long as the 26-year-old stays on the field.
Greenlaw injured his hamstring in the 49ers' loss to the Rams in the NFC Championship Game, and the team has yet to provide any updates on the potential starting linebacker. The 25-year-old appeared in just six games (including playoffs) due to injury last year, after combining for 178 tackles in his first two seasons in the NFL. If healthy, Greenlaw will compete with Azeez Al-Shaair for the more prominent starting weakside linebacker role in defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans' nickel-heavy scheme.
Greenlaw missed three games due to injury last season but still nearly matched the impressive totals from his rookie campaign, going for 86 tackles and a sack after 92 and one, respectively, in 2019. Kwon Alexander was shipped to New Orleans midseason, due in large part to Greenlaw's impressive play while filling in as the starter at the Will position. The 24-year-old is all but a lock to start at that same spot alongside middle linebacker Fred Warner this upcoming season.
The 49ers found a diamond in the rough when they selected Dre Greenlaw in the fifth round of the 2019 draft. The 23-year-old beat out veteran Malcolm Smith for the Sam linebacker job in camp, and the rookie flourished in an every-down role when Kwon Alexander suffered a torn pectoral Week 9. Greenlaw finished with 92 tackles (64 solo), a sack, an interception and two passes defended through 16 games, with his most notable play being a goal-line stop on the final play of the regular season to seal the victory - and division title - over the Seahawks. The sophomore linebacker will have a starting job to begin the 2020 campaign, but the question will be whether he or a healthy Alexander occupies the starting Will position alongside Fred Warner. If Greenlaw is moved back to the strong side, then his IDP value would take a significant hit.

Greenlaw is not likely to play again in 2024, 49ersWebZone reports.
ANALYSIS
Greenlaw recovered from an Achilles injury in time for a Week 15 season debut, but he suffered a calf issue in his return. He was active again in Week 16, only to be ruled out after playing four defensive snaps. Greenlaw is reportedly only dealing with soreness, though San Francisco appears to be taking a cautious approach now that it's eliminated from postseason contention.
