San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw is inactive for Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Kinlaw is dealing with a knee injury that caused him to miss the first two practices of the week. He managed to get in a limited practice on Saturday but was walking with a noticeable limp when he returned to the locker room during pre-game warmups. The 49ers have yet to find a way to unlock Kinlaw’s upside, but he is a valuable starter who will be missed. Kinlaw is a dynasty-only option for fantasy purposes and remains a high upside depth stash.

DL Javon Kinlaw (COVID-19) has been placed on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list, per Adam Schefter.

Fantasy Impact

Kinlaw was placed on the league's Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, just days after DL Arik Armstead and WR Kendrick Bourne were placed onto it. Fortunately, the 49ers signed former Falcons' DL Takk McKinley off waivers on Wednesday, which will help out their depleted defensive front. With a Week 11 Bye, Kinlaw and others are afforded additional time to recover and return from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

1st-round pick DT Javon Kinlaw has signed his four-year rookie deal with a fifth-year option with the San Francisco 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Kinlaw becomes one of just a few players selected in the first round to sign his four-year rookie deal with fifth-year option. The 14th overall pick out of South Carolina was a beast up front for the Gamecocks. In three seasons, the run-stuffing DT totaled 91 tackles and 10.5 sacks.

The San Francisco 49ers have selected former South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw with the No. 14 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft after acquiring the pick from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Fantasy Impact

The Javon Kinlaw have fortified their defensive front with the selection of Javon Kinlaw. They traded stud defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for the 13th overall pick, and were able to flip that to Tampa Bay, picking up a fourth round pick for moving down just one spot, and then land Javon Kinlaw, a prospect many had rated as a top 10 overall talent in the 2020 NFL Draft class. This is a serious coup for the 49ers who were able to land a player that they likely thought would not be available at 13th (or 14th overall). A havoc creator with an explosive first step, Kinlaw projects to receive immediate starter snaps as a rookie. Kinlaw profiles as a future DT1 in IDP leagues.
