Not participating during OTAs
Latu (knee) was in attendance but not participating during San Francisco's OTA session Tuesday, Kyle Madson of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2023 third-round pick missed his entire rookie campaign after sustaining a meniscus injury during the 49ers' last preseason game, but he could be nearing a return. Latu, an Alabama product, caught 56 passes for 787 yards and 12 touchdowns during his final two collegiate seasons. Once Latu is able to return to the field, he's expected to compete with Eric Saubert, Brayden Willis, Mason Pline and Jake Tonges for San Francisco's top backup tight end spot behind George Kittle.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 49ers selected Latu in the third round of the 2023 Draft, finally giving the team a receiving threat behind top tight end George Kittle. Due to the latter's star presence, the rookie is unlikely to see much action as a rookie. That said, Latu has a clear path to win the backup job behind Kittle out of camp, which would get the youngster some looks in two-TE formations while providing insurance for the oft-injured starter. The Alabama product showed strong hands in college - a 56-787-12 receiving line over the last two years - which should make him fantasy relevant if he cracks the game-day lineup.
