Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Brevin Jordan

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle totaled six receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets in a Monday night win over the Carolina Panthers. Kittle led the 49ers in both targets and receiving yards in the win. Outside of zero catch performance in his first game returning from his early-season hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Falcons, the superstar tight end has been as advertised as an early-round pick for fantasy managers. In the other five games, including Monday night, he's racked up 29 catches for 304 yards and four touchdowns on 34 targets, good for an average of 16.6 PPR points per game. The 32-year-old will again profile as a top-three tight end option in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.

The Houston Texans plan to place tight end Brevin Jordan (knee) on the season-ending Injured Reserve after he suffered a serious injury in Monday's training camp practice, a source tells Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. It's unclear exactly what injury that Jordan suffered, but the 25-year-old was coming back from a torn ACL that limited him to just two games last year. It's a brutal blow for Jordan, who had been looking good in practices this summer as he competed for playing time behind starter Dalton Schultz. With Jordan now out for the entire 2025 season, Cade Stover and Irv Smith Jr. will be competing for playing time as the TE2 in Houston behind Schultz. In his four years in the NFL (all with Houston), Jordan has 53 catches on 80 targets for 532 yards and five touchdowns in 36 games (12 starts).
