2024 Fantasy Outlook
Saubert was brought in to replace one of the vacant backup roles left by the offseason departures of Charlie Woerner, Ross Dwelley and Tyler Kroft. The journeyman tight end will compete with Cameron Latu and Brayden Willis for slotting rights behind starter George Kittle in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Catches one ball in spot-start
Saubert (illness) recorded one reception for seven yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
Saubert put together a career-best 15-148-1 receiving line across 17 games with the Broncos last season. Though on paper he's now facing opportunity in a Dolphins offense that lost Mike Gesicki to the Patriots, the fact that Saubert has yet to compile a 150-yard campaign through six seasons in the NFL is telling. The 29-year-old could see his share of playing time as a rotational TE but anything more than that seems unlikely.
