Who Should I Start? Adam Shaheen or George Kittle

Monday, October 30, 11:24 PM

While dealing with injuries at the position, the Buffalo Bills worked out former Chicago Bears tight end Adam Shaheen on Monday. Dawson Knox (wrist) is currently on Injured Reserve and will miss at least three more games. Shaheen was with the Miami Dolphins last year, but he didn't play at all due to a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old former second-round pick by the Chicago Bears hasn't played in an NFL since 2021, when he had 12 receptions on 16 targets for 110 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games (seven starts). Shaheen will remain well off the fantasy radar, even if he's signed by Buffalo. Rookie Dalton Kincaid had a big game in last Thursday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will have TE1 upside moving forward with Knox on the shelf.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) missed each of the team's practices this week and is officially questionable for the team's clash with the Bears in Week 17. Kittle is expected to be a game-time decision, and with the teams being showcased on Sunday Night Football, fantasy managers will be left with few other options should he be declared inactive. The timing couldn't be worse for managers who rode Kittle, who has averaged 20 PPR points per game since Week 10, to the fantasy championship round. Managers hoping to see Kittle take the field need to take out an insurance policy. Backup Jake Tonges connected with quarterback Brock Purdy for a go-ahead touchdown in Week 1, and he logged a 22-209-2 line during Kittle's five-week stint on injured reserve earlier this season. On the other side of the ball, Colston Loveland is another low-owned option worthy of consideration.
