San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) intends to play on Sunday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Kittle was held out of action last weekend and was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. The Iowa product has enjoyed another fantastic campaign, averaging an impressive 17.6 PPR points per game. He has found the end zone seven times in eight games and averaged a solid 70.0 receiving yards per game. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status throughout the week in case he faces a setback, but he should be expected to return to action and be started in all formats as a high-end TE1.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The standout tight end was sidelined during last weekend's game due to a hamstring injury. However, seeing him back in practice, albeit in a limited capacity, suggests he could be in line to return to action this weekend to face the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status throughout the week in case he faces a setback. Before the injury, the 31-year-old averaged an impressive 74.0 yards and 5.3 receptions per game with six total scores during Weeks 4 through 10. If Kittle can return to action, fantasy managers should view him as a high-end TE1 in all formats this weekend.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday after sitting out the Week 11 divisional loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday due to hamstring irritation that he picked up in the Week 10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle was "close" to playing on Sunday. Barring a setback once the 31-year-old returns to practice this week, he should be able to return in Week 12 against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. With elevated playing time against Seattle with Kittle out, Eric Saubert failed to take advantage and caught one pass for seven yards. Despite missing two games this year due to injury, Kittle is the TE2 in half-PPR scoring with 43 receptions, 560 yards and a league-leading seven touchdowns. If he's active in Week 12, he's a must-start in fantasy.
Nov 18, 2024 7:28 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is officially deemed inactive for the Week 11 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. He was already not expected to play, so it doesn't come as too much of a surprise. That leaves Eric Saubert as the next man up. Deebo Samuel Sr., Jauan Jennings, and Christian McCaffrey could also see some added targets.
Nov 17, 2024 2:44 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to be inactive for Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kittle had been listed as questionable and will test his injury pregame, but the expectation is that he won't be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional battle. Kittle has appeared in eight games this year, ranking as the overall fantasy TE1 with his 43 catches, 560 yards, and seven touchdowns. Eric Saubert should step up as the Niners' top tight end with Kittle active on Friday.
Nov 17, 2024 8:07 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Week 11 divisional game on Sunday versus the Seattle Seahawks. Kittle is dealing with a little hamstring irritation and did not practice on Wednesday before putting in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he wasn't too worried about Kittle's status for this weekend, so fantasy managers should leave him in all starting lineups, even with the Niners and Seahawks kicking off in the late window on Sunday. The 31-year-old leads all tight ends in fantasy points through 10 weeks and has found the end zone seven times in his eight games this year. Oh, and he also caught five passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns in the first meeting against Seattle back on Oct. 10. Kittle will be a must-start for the rest of the year in fantasy.
Nov 15, 2024 6:02 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) upgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after he did not practice at all on Wednesday. Kittle is dealing with some hamstring irritation, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said he wasn't really worried about the tight end's status heading into a Week 11 divisional showdown versus the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday. As long as the 31-year-old veteran doesn't have a setback with his hamstring on Friday, he should be active in Week 11. He has scored seven touchdowns in eight games played in 2024 to put him atop the TE ranks in terms of fantasy points. In addition to his league-high seven touchdowns, Kittle has 43 receptions on 53 targets for 560 yards. On Oct. 10 in the first meeting against Seattle, he had five catches for 58 yards and two TDs. Kittle is a must-start, high-end TE1 for fantasy managers again this week.
Nov 14, 2024 7:52 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. The standout tight end sustained this injury during last week's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the week, as he could be in danger of sitting out this weekend if he misses another practice. The 31-year-old has been enjoying another fantastic campaign. Kittle has found the end zone in all but two games this season and has averaged a stellar 17.6 PPR points and 70.0 receiving yards per game. If Kittle can suit up to face the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, fantasy managers should continue to lock him into all starting lineups as a high-end TE1.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is dealing with some "hamstring irritation," according to head coach Kyle Shanahan, and the team will monitor him this week as they prepare to face the division-rival Seattle Seahawks in Week 11 on Sunday. Kittle has been banged up with multiple injuries in 2024 but has only missed one game -- back in Week 3. The 31-year-old's practice statuses will be monitored closely, but we'd be surprised if his hamstring irritation keeps him from playing against Seattle this weekend. Running back Christian McCaffrey is finally back to take away plenty of offensive touches, but Kittle remains a high-end TE1 in fantasy when he's active. Through the first 10 weeks of the NFL season, Kittle leads all TEs with 119.5 half-PPR fantasy points on 43 receptions for 560 yards and a league-high seven touchdowns on 53 targets.
Nov 11, 2024 7:25 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle scored a touchdown for the seventh time in eight games during a 23-20 victory over the Buccaneers in Tampa on Sunday. He caught three of four targets for 57 yards, including the touchdown. Kittle's score was an important fourth-quarter toe-tapping snag in the corner of the end zone. As we saw Sunday, Kittle's target share will likely take a hit with the return of Christian McCaffrey and the emergence of Jauan Jennings coupled with the evident competence of rookie Ricky Pearsall. Kittle has been by far the most productive tight end in fantasy this year. With many leagues facing the trade deadline this week, the joyful 31-year-old is a sell-high candidate for those looking to bolster at other positions. On the other hand, Kittle has the red zone skills to overcome diminished volume, especially at a perennially thin position. Kittle has a plus matchup in Week 11 when the 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks.
Nov 11, 2024 2:07 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will take on the Buccaneers in Tampa for the team's Week 10 contest on Sunday. In Week 8 against Dallas, Kittle had a week-winning game, catching six of seven targets for 128 yards and a touchdown. The book on Kittle in fantasy has been boom/bust for years, but in 2024 it's been all boom. After a six-point game in Week 1, Kittle has outperformed projections in each subsequent game. He is now averaging 15.2 half-PPR points per game, while the second-ranked TE Brock Bowers sits at 11.2 PPG. It remains to be seen what the effect of an active Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will be on Kittle's target share, but even if he takes a slight hit, he'll remain an elite option at an otherwise frustrating position. The Bucs present an excellent opportunity to keep the good times rolling, having allowed the third-most TE fantasy points this year. Unsurprisingly, Kittle is projected as the overall TE1 coming into Week 10.
Nov 9, 2024 2:09 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle swept all three team receiving categories and caught his 500th career pass in a 30-24 home win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. He was a clear focal point of the offense and finished with six receptions on seven targets for 128 yards and a touchdown. Kittle has been immensely valuable for fantasy managers this year, as he was drafted as the TE6 by ADP, but has a huge lead over all others as the overall TE1 on a per-game basis. He's at 15.2 PPG in Yahoo default scoring while second place is occupied by Las Vegas' Brock Bowers at 10.8. Looking ahead, Kittle's value should remain stable with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season, even if Kittle loses a few targets when Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) returns. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye upcoming, followed by a Week 10 date at Tampa Bay.
Oct 28, 2024 2:15 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran has been battling a foot injury, keeping him off the practice field on Wednesday before returning for limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. Kittle has been a top fantasy tight end this season, amassing 34 catches (42 targets) for 375 yards and five touchdowns. While Kittle is always a must-start for fantasy managers, his potential for more involvement is higher due to the absences of Brandon Aiyuk (knee), Jauan Jennings (hip), and Christian McCaffrey (Achilles).
Oct 27, 2024 7:00 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) is expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Kittle has remained dominant through six games this year, racking up 34 catches for 375 yards and five touchdowns. So far, he remains second among tight ends in fantasy points. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a high-end TE1 in all leagues.
Oct 27, 2024 8:09 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) is officially questionable for the team's Week 8 home tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. Kittle was able to close out the week with two limited sessions after a DNP on Wednesday, suggesting he's more likely to play than not. It'd be excellent news for San Fran if the veteran could suit up, as wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (wrist, illness) has been deemed questionable, and teammate Jauan Jennings (hip) has been ruled out for the contest. If the Iowa product is active, he'd likely be in store for a large workload in a tantalizing matchup against the Cowboys. However, if he can't -- journeyman tight end Eric Saubert would slot in as the team's TE1. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status over the weekend.
Oct 25, 2024 8:31 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice session after he was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a foot sprain. Kittle's status bears watching on Friday, but the fact that he returned to practice on Thursday means he's trending in the right direction to be available for San Fran on Sunday night against the visiting Dallas Cowboys. The 31-year-old five-time Pro Bowler heads into Week 8 as the No. 1 scoring tight end in fantasy, making him a must-start if he's active this weekend. Kittle's target volume should remain strong moving forward with receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season and with receiver Jauan Jennings (hip) trending toward missing a second straight game. Keep him locked into your starting lineups.
Oct 24, 2024 7:17 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Kittle has a sprained foot and is considered day-to-day. Veterans with various ailments are often permitted a day off on Wednesdays so Kittle's practice participation will need to be monitored as the weekend approaches. With the 49ers nursing several injuries, they will need all hands on deck. Kittle has been awesome in 2024. He currently sits as the TE2 with 375 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Despite the 49ers' ups and downs this season, Kittle is still on his way to a monster season. The 49ers play the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8 in what should be a high-scoring affair. With so many weapons down for the 49ers, Kittle may literally be the last man standing. Presuming he is able to suit up this weekend, Kittle should be a smash start once again.
Oct 23, 2024 6:08 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (foot) is day-to-day due to a foot sprain that he picked up in the Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Kittle broke a streak of four straight games with a touchdown but still had six receptions for a season-high 92 yards on Sunday. Receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is out for the year with a torn right ACL and MCL, while receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) is currently in the hospital with pneumonia. It means that the 31-year-old Kittle could be quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite target once again if he's able to play in Week 8 on Sunday night in a great matchup against a banged-up Dallas Cowboys defense. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on Kittle's practice status this week, but if he's able to play on Sunday in primetime, he'll be a must-start, high-end TE1.
Oct 21, 2024 7:24 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was the focal point of a struggling 49ers offense during a 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Levi's Stadium. Kittle grabbed six of seven targets for 92 yards -- the receptions and yards being game-highs. San Francisco had little choice but to lean on Kittle after falling to a 14-3 deficit, and seeing Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) head to the locker room. Kittle has now exceeded projections in five consecutive games, maintaining a stranglehold on the overall TE1 position in fantasy. If Aiyuk has suffered a serious injury as feared, fantasy managers can expect a similar target share for Kittle moving forward. Kittle will be a top play again on Sunday night when the 49ers host the Dallas Cowboys.
Oct 21, 2024 3:30 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle enters a Week 7 home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in the midst of one the hottest streaks of his career. Last week in a win versus Seattle he hauled in five of six targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns. He is now on a four-game touchdown streak and tied for the most receiving touchdowns in the league at any position, with five. Kansas City's pass defense in fantasy has been mediocre but has taken an interesting route to get there. The Chiefs have been the ninth-toughest on wide receivers, but have been taken to task by opposing tight ends. They have given up 14.3 TE points per game, good for league-worst, while the second-easiest team -- the Rams -- are averaging 11.3 in Yahoo default scoring, by far the biggest margin between any two consecutively-ranked teams in the NFL. Kittle will certainly be fired up to take on the Chiefs given San Francisco's loss in Super Bowl LVIII and is a no-doubt fantasy TE1.
