2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pinnock spent his first four campaigns as a pro in New York (one with the Jets followed by three with the Giants), averaging 85.0 tackles, 2.5 sacks and one interception per season over his last two years as a starter for the Giants. The 26-year-old joins former Falcons safety Richie Grant as a duo of backups that could step in for either Malik Mustapha or Ji'Ayir Brown in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

Moves into reserve role

Pinnock played two snaps on special teams and none on defense in Sunday's 30-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Through the first five weeks of the season, Pinnock had played every defensive snap for the 49ers, accruing 17 tackles along the way. The 49ers opted to shake up their defensive backfield for Week 6, however, with Pinnock falling out of the mix entirely while Ji'Ayir Brown moved into a full-time role alongside rookie Marques Sigle, who split snaps with Malik Mustapha at the other safety spot. Pinnock thus appears to be the 49ers' No. 4 safety at the moment, making him unlikely to receive meaningful playing time unless one or two of Brown, Sigle and Mustapha is out with an injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Pinnock filled an every-down role at free safety for the Giants last season and finished with career-best marks of 85 tackles (including 2.0 sacks) and two interceptions (including one he returned for a 102-yard touchdown). His performance was strong enough to lock him into a starting role again in 2024, and he'll line up next to either rookie second-round pick Tyler Nubin or free-agent addition Jalen Mills.
Pinnock logged only one defensive snap through the first eight weeks of 2022 before Xavier McKinney's bye week injury opened the door to opportunity. Pinnock took full advantage, working his way up to a starting role until McKinney returned late in the campaign. With Julian Love's offseason departure, Pinnock will have the opportunity to compete for the vacated starting role. Sophomore Dane Belton figures to be his primary competition for that spot.
Pinnock joins an inexperienced group of Jets cornerbacks after being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 draft. The rookie out of Pittsburgh could see playing time right away if he impresses in practice, but Pinnock will more likely be brought along slowly in a depth role.
