Who Should I Start? George Kittle or CJ Uzomah

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle nearly ghosted fantasy managers in a 35-10 loss to the Bills in a snowy Orchard Park on Sunday night. The leader in half-PPR points per game at tight end had his worst game of the season, finishing with one reception on two targets for seven yards. Kittle's feeble output probably has little to do with Kittle himself, as the entire 49ers offense was behind the eight-ball from the start. The snow, the offensive line injuries, and running back Christian McCaffrey leaving early were never likely to lead to great offensive numbers for any 49ers. There is not a lot to be done from a fantasy perspective besides flush this one. Kittle will get the Chicago Bears in a neutral matchup at home in Week 14, where he'll once again be a must-start.

The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran tight end C.J. Uzomah on Wednesday. The Eagles signed Uzomah to a one-year pact in April and with the competition in camp, felt it necessary to cut the journeyman loose to free agency. Uzomah spent the last two seasons with the New York Jets after eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. Playing sparingly for the Jets last season, Uzomah managed just eight receptions on 12 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown grab. The Eagles' depth chart at tight end comprises Dallas Goedert, Albert Okwuegbunam, and Grant Calcaterra.
