Khalil Dinkins

Khalil Dinkins is an undrafted rookie tight end who signed with the San Francisco 49ers after the 2026 draft (~$275K guaranteed), profiling as a physical, in-line blocker with a thin receiving résumé (37 catches, 399 yards, 7 TDs over five Penn State seasons). He lands behind George Kittle and Jake Tonges, so his realistic 2026 ceiling is a practice-squad or TE3 blocking role with essentially zero fantasy targets. The two things to watch are roster survival (UDFA at a deep position is precarious) and Kittle's well-documented injury history, which is the only near-term lever that could create snaps. His blocking-first skill set fits Shanahan's scheme but doesn't translate to dynasty production, and his dynasty trade value is effectively nil. Recommendation: hold/avoid — he's a free-agent-wire watchlist name in deep TE-premium dynasty leagues only, not a player to acquire with any meaningful asset. Reassess only if Kittle's status changes or Dinkins flashes expanded receiving usage in camp.
