Marques Sigle, SF, burst onto the preseason scene with speed, high awareness, and a standout tackling metric (85.9 PFF), positioning him as SF’s Week 1 starter at safety. His ability to play both FS and SS adds valuable flexibility to SF’s defensive backfield.

Sigle has surged into the safety rotation, starting preseason reps, missing OTAs but quickly adapting. Saleh highlighted his learning curve, recall, and communication as strengths that foreshadow a possible Week 1 role.

Sigle earns high praise as the Sultan of Swarm, with a 4.3-second forty and elite open-field tackling. He’s highlighted as SF’s latest defensive swarmer, potentially translating to higher tackle volume and opportunistic plays.

Sigle lands in SF as the late-round pick acquired in the Mason-for-Sigle swap, a potential starter for the Niners this season and a player fantasy managers will monitor as a possible sleeper in deep leagues if he carves out a path to meaningful snaps.

Sigle seized a Week 14 opportunity, pressing to be Week 1 starter as safeties Mustapha and Brown deal with health issues. His coverage instincts and willingness to mix it up in the box drew praise from the coaching staff and defensive coordinator, positioning him as a potential Week 1 starter.
