Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Garrett Wilson

Sunday, November 9, 10:29 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener and landed on Injured Reserve, so it's been a frustrating season for his fantasy managers. However, Kittle showed on Sunday why he's still a high-end fantasy TE when he's healthy. In the team's 42-26 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, he led the team by catching all nine of his targets for a season-high 84 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the season. Kittle's nine targets were tied for second on the team, and his nine catches and 84 receiving yards led the 49ers. The 32-year-old veteran's touchdown was a nifty show of athleticism as he tiptoed the sideline and dove for the pile-on. Kittle also made a highlight-reel catch earlier in the game where he laid out with full extension to make the grab. He had more yards on Sunday than he did in his previous three games, and he could be starting to heat up just in time for quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) to potentially return in Week 11 against the Cardinals.

The New York Jets announced on Wednesday that they officially ruled out wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) for the Thursday night game in Week 11 against the division-rival New England Patriots after he missed practice all week. Wilson aggravated a knee injury in Sunday's Week 10 win over the Cleveland Browns and is now expected to miss another three to four games. Given the state of the Jets' 2025 season, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't help them the rest of the way, but given the 25-year-old's WR1 status, he should be stashed in an IR spot until further notice. Josh Reynolds (hip) is also on Injured Reserve for the Jets, so with Wilson out again, New York will be down to Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, John Metchie III, and Isaiah Williams. Expect Adonai Mitchell to make his team debut on Thursday night, too.
