Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Dillon Gabriel

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges saw just seven snaps in the team's 20-10 win on Sunday Night Football in Week 7. With George Kittle (hamstring) back from injured reserve, the former All-Pro reclaimed his spot at the top of the depth chart, and Tonges fell to third in the pecking order behind Luke Farrell as well. Tonges operated as San Francisco's top tight end while Kittle was on injured reserve after injuring his hamstring in Week 1. Injuries to wide receivers Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) over the subsequent weeks turned Tonges into a streaming candidate. During Kittle's absence, Tonges had three top-12 finishes at his position. Kittle's return tanks Tonges' fantasy value for San Francisco's Week 8 matchup against Houston and beyond. He can be dropped in all leagues.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel has made two starts thus far in his rookie season, passing for 430 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions. While the rookie has done a nice job taking care of the ball, he has yet to bring much upside to a Cleveland offense that has scored just 82 points across six games. He will look to turn things around in a Week 7 home game against the Miami Dolphins. Miami's defense has been one of the worst in the league this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks thus far. Gabriel definitely has the matchup in his favor, but he will have to show more on the field to be trustworthy for fantasy lineups. He sets up as a high-end QB3 heading into Week 7.
