George Kittle Activated From IR, All Set For Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 4:45 PM

The San Francisco 49ers activated tight end George Kittle (hamstring) from injured reserve on Saturday, and he's set to return for Sunday Night Football against the Falcons. Kittle played just 20 snaps in Week 1 against the Seahawks before suffering a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. The stud tight end rewarded fantasy managers with four catches (four targets) for 25 yards and a touchdown before leaving, and now makes his return after missing five games. With several 49ers receivers sidelined, Kittle could see an increased target share on Sunday night against an Atlanta defense that has surrendered the fewest receptions to tight ends this year. Despite the challenging matchup, he remains a high-end TE1 for Week 7 and going forward.

Caleb Williams Rides Hot Streak Into Favorable Week 7 Matchup Against Saints

Saturday, October 18, 12:07 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is riding high as he leads the team on a three-game win streak. Through five games, Williams has completed 98 of 159 passes for 1,179 yards and nine touchdowns, while throwing just two interceptions. The second-year quarterback is also contributing with his legs, adding 108 rushing yards and two scores on 28 carries. Williams is averaging 20.8 fantasy points per game, ranking as the QB7 in fantasy through six weeks. He draws a favorable Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. The Saints' defense struggled mightily in Week 6, surrendering 261 yards and three touchdowns to Drake Maye on just 18 completions. With another soft matchup on deck and Chicago's offense clicking, Williams profiles as a strong mid-QB1 for Week 7.
