Fred Warner did not participate in the San Francisco 49ers' Thursday OTA session, but this absence is not a cause for concern. It was a healthy veteran rest day, a common practice for established players during voluntary offseason activities. Warner was actively engaged on the sidelines, providing leadership and energy to his teammates.

Warner recently signed a three-year, $63 million extension, solidifying his role as a cornerstone of the 49ers' defense. For the 2025 season, he is projected to lead the team with 120+ tackles and maintain his status as a defensive signal-caller. His presence is crucial as the 49ers, under Robert Saleh's defensive coordination, aim to dominate with the league's easiest schedule (.415 strength of schedule).

Fantasy managers should consider Warner a top IDP (Individual Defensive Player) target, given his projected high tackle count and leadership role on a potentially elite defense.
