No receptions Sunday
Farrell was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 41-22 victory over Arizona.
Analysis: Farrell was able to nab his second touchdown of the season against the Rams last week, but he reverted to his blocking role against the Cardinals on Sunday. The veteran backup logged 16 snaps on offense (29 percent) behind George Kittle's dominant 6-67-2 receiving line. Farrell's fantasy value is completely dependent on vulturing short touchdowns from Kittle, which keeps the former off the fantasy radar for Week 12.

Hits pay dirt in loss
Farrell had two receptions on as many targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Farrell got back in the scoring column after recording the first touchdown of his career against the Saints in Week 2. The blocking tight end had just five receptions for 48 yards in the seven games in between his trips to the end zone. Farrell's minimal role on offense keeps him out of the fantasy conversation in standard formats.

Scores first TD of career
Farrell brought in two of three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Farrell got the start in place of George Kittle (hamstring) on Sunday, finishing with 41 snaps played on offense (58 percent). Jake Tonges wound up playing more snaps (79 percent) while garnering more targets (five) in the passing game, but it was Farrell who cashed in one of Mac Jones's three touchdown passes. It appears that the 49ers will deploy both tight ends in tandem while Kittle mends on injured reserve. In that scenario, neither option offers much fantasy upside heading into next…read more

Increased reps on tap
Farrell and Jake Tonges are in line for increased snaps, beginning Sunday versus the Saints, with starting tight end George Kittle (hamstring) having been placed on IR and out a minimum of four games, Dianna Russini, Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic report.
Analysis: Farrell played more offensive snaps (44) than Tonges (28) after Kittle's early departure in Week 1. Nonetheless, he finished with just one catch for four yards on his only target, while Tonges brought in all three of his targets for 15 yards and a score. Farrell solidified himself as a blocking specialist with the Jaguars from 2021-24, in which span he totaled just 36 receptions despite suiting up for 66 regular-season games, so while he seems like the favorite to lead the 49ers tight end…read more

Catches one pass Sunday
Farrell brought in his only target for four yards in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Starter George Kittle (hamstring) left the contest after scoring an early touchdown, opening up a chunk of playing time for the team's backup tight ends. Farrell finished with the most snaps played on offense (44), but it was third-stringer Jake Tonges (3-15-1) who absorbed Kittle's fantasy production despite logging 14 less snaps. It appears the 49ers view Farrell primarily as a blocking tight end regardless of where he sits on the depth chart. It is currently unclear how long Kittle will be…read more

Bound for San Francisco
Farrell is slated to sign a three-year, $20.25 million contract with the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Farrell will bolster San Francisco's depth at tight end behind George Kittle. The Ohio State product made 12 catches on 17 targets for 67 yards last season, his fourth with the Jaguars.

One catch Week 18
Farrell caught his lone target for four yards Week 18 against the Colts and finished the season with 12 receptions for 67 yards in 17 games.
Analysis: Farrell once again was minimally involved in the passing game while playing 31 offensive snaps in the season finale. The 27-year-old will become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the offseason, with his four-year run in Jacksonville likely to conclude with him totaling 36 catches for 316 yards and no touchdowns in 66 games.

No targets in Week 8
Farrell played 31 of the Jaguars' 61 snaps on offense and didn't draw a target in Sunday's 32-16 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: After drawing either one or two targets from Weeks 2 through 5, Farrell has seen his already minimal role in the passing game disappear since top tight end Evan Engram returned from a hamstring injury Week 6. Farrell wasn't targeted in either of the past two contests, though he played double-digit snaps on both occasions thanks to his blocking skills.

Catches both targets
Farrell secured both targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 37-34 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: The 26-year-old once again served as Jacksonville's secondary tight end behind Brenton Strange as starter Evan Engram (hamstring) missed a fourth straight game. Farrell hasn't been fantasy-relevant even with Engram sidelined and has five receptions for 31 yards through five games this season.

Secures both targets
Farrell caught both his targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 18-13 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: The 26-year-old had an increased role since starting tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) was a late scratch Sunday, but it was Brenton Strange who operated as Jacksonville's primary tight end with three catches for 65 yards and a 68 percent snap share. Farrell played 28 of 60 offensive snaps and is unlikely to be significantly involved in the passing game even if Engram misses more time.

Minor role Week 1
Farrell played 14 offensive snaps and didn't receive a target during Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Evan Engram was the only Jaguars tight end to be involved in the passing game in the season opener. Farrell tallied career highs in catches (13) and receiving yards (155) last season, and he should continue to see occasional snaps as a blocking option.

Finishes season with 13 catches
Farrell closed the season with 13 catches on 15 targets for 155 yards in 17 games.
Analysis: Farrell once again primarily served as a blocking tight end for the Jaguars in 2023, though he did set career highs in both receptions and receiving yards. The 26-year-old should fill a similar role in 2024, which is the final year of his rookie contract.

Minor role in loss
Farrell caught his lone target for nine yards during Monday's 34-31 loss to the Bengals.
Analysis: The 26-year-old set career highs with three catches and 55 yards last week in Houston, but he was far less involved in the passing game versus Cincinnati. Farrell remains the top backup to starting tight end Evan Engram but doesn't have much fantasy, utility with just 22 receptions for 216 yards through 44 career games.

Will play Monday
Farrell (toe) is listed as active for Jacksonville's matchup with the Bengals on Monday.
Analysis: Farrell is set to play Monday despite being limited in practice earlier in the week with a toe injury. The 26-year-old could be in line for increased playing time with Brenton Strange (foot) not playing.

Dealing with toe injury
Farrell (toe) was limited in practice Thursday.
Analysis: Farrell likely picked up the injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, although news of him dealing with the injury wasn't previously reported. He'll have an extra day to recover with Jacksonville not playing until Monday, when the Jaguars host the Bengals.

Totals career-high 55 yards
Farrell caught three of five targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 24-21 win versus the Texans.
Analysis: The 26-year-old has been an afterthought in the Jaguars' passing attack all year with just seven targets through the first 10 games, but he was significantly more involved Sunday. Farrell has set career highs with 10 catches and 111 yards this season, but he's not close to being on the fantasy radar.

Fails to garner target Sunday
Farrell went without a target while playing 29 of the Jaguars' 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Farrell had recorded at least one reception in each of the Jaguars' previous three games, but quarterback Trevor Lawrence didn't look his way on any of the season-high seven routes he ran Sunday. The Jaguars will likely continue to deploy the third-year player out of Ohio State primarily as a blocker whenever he's on the field, as Evan Engram remains the team's top pass-catching tight end.

No role in passing game
Farrell played 33 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.
Analysis: The 25-year-old operated as Jacksonville's secondary tight end behind starter Evan Engram but wasn't involved in the passing game. Farrell played in all 17 games last season but caught just four passes for 40 yards, and he's unlikely to see much week-to-week involvement in the aerial attack again this year.

Limited largely to special teams
Farrell played 10 of his 11 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Ravens.
Analysis: Jacksonville kept four tight ends active Week 12, but Farrell and Dan Arnold (three snaps on offense) ranked far behind starter Evan Engram (51 snaps) and top backup Chris Manhertz (20 snaps) in terms of usage. Even if an injury to Engram or Manhertz opens up more playing time at tight end, Arnold is a better bet than Farrell to contribute as a pass catcher.

Sees snap count bump
Farrell went without a target across his eight snaps on offense in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Farrell was one of four tight ends active for Jacksonville in Week 5, with his 11 percent snap share on offense matching Dan Arnold. Considering Arnold has played 47 snaps on offense to Farrell's 14, the former still looks to be the Jaguars' clear No. 3 tight end at the moment. Even so, Farrell should still continue to avoid the inactive lists most weeks thanks to his consistent role on special teams.

Zero targets in finale
Farrell didn't receive a target during Sunday's 26-11 win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: Farrell started Sunday's contest alongside Chris Manhertz, but Jacob Hollister was the only Jacksonville tight end to be targeted in the passing game. Farrell finished his rookie campaign with seven receptions for 56 yards in 15 games, and he should enter 2022 competing for a depth role with Manhertz behind Dan Arnold (knee), who currently projects to be the team's No. 1 tight end.

Works as No. 1 tight end
Farrell caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Farrell received the start and played 72 percent of the offensive snaps with James O'Shaughnessy (hip) sidelined, though it didn't result in much involvement in the passing game. It was Farrell's first reception since Week 8, and he's unlikely to be a significant factor in the passing game in the season finale versus the Colts even if he sees a similar snap count.

Back from COVID list
Farrell (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
Analysis: Farrell tested positive for the virus Monday but is back on the active roster without missing a game. James O'Shaughnessy (hip) has been unable to practice this week while Chris Manhertz (illness) and Jacob Hollister (illness) remain in the health and safety protocols, so Farrell could be in line for an increased workload this weekend in New England.

Placed on COVID list
Jacksonsille placed Farrell on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Farrell played one offensive snap Sunday against the Jets and is now on the COVID-19 list. Chris Manhertz (illness) was also added to the list, leaving James O'Shaughnessy and Jacob Hollister as the only healthy tight ends on the roster.

Healthy scratch Sunday
Farrell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Analysis: Farrell will be inactive for the second time this season with interim coach Darrell Bevell now leading the Jaguars. Jacob Hollister will instead serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 tight end behind James O'Shaughnessy and Chris Manhertz.

Starting role opens up
Farrell should have an increased role for the Jaguars because James O'Shaughnessy (ankle) is out indefinitely, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: O'Shaughnessy suffered the injury early in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, and Farrell ended up catching one of two targets for six yards while playing 36 offensive snaps. The rookie fifth-round pick saw more playing time than blocking specialist Chris Manhertz, who also did not receive a target. Farrell is unlikely to be a significant piece of the offense but should continue to operate as one of Jacksonville's top two tight ends.
