Gets some late run on ST
James did not record a touch while appearing in three games for the 49ers in 2025.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fifth-round pick was a healthy scratch for the first 14 weeks of the regular season before being activated on special teams for the final three contests. The 49ers only deploy their top two running backs on offense, so all three of James' appearances were limited to kick coverage in 2025. James will have to prove his worth in training camp as a sophomore next season in order to return as a depth piece behind star RB Christian McCaffrey.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Fifth-round pick in Reuter's mock
Friday's five-round mock draft from Chad Reuter of NFL.com has James going to the Dolphins in the fifth round.
ANALYSIS
Draftniks are torn on James, as Dane Brugler of The Athletic had James ranked as the 62nd overall prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft class earlier in the offseason, but Reuter has the 5-foot-10, 205-pound running back staying on the board until well into Day 3. James lacks the top-end speed possessed by some other members of this deep running back class, but he was a reliable chain mover at Oregon in 2024, with 36.5 percent of his carries resulting in a touchdown or first down.
