Javon Kinlaw

Overall, a talented wrecking ball defender up front. Would be best suited in a 4-3 where he can line up as a 1-tech, but would be able to play in a 3-4. Good in the pass rush game, but needs more active hands to fight off defenders. Can get stuck when a OL gets his hands on him. Gets moved backwards consistently in the run game. Needs to develop more in the lower half to maintain leverage and a solid base. Good prospect.

Javon Kinlaw (COVID-19) placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list

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.
