Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Jake Ferguson

Wednesday, November 20, 4:59 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) intends to play on Sunday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Kittle was held out of action last weekend and was listed as a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. The Iowa product has enjoyed another fantastic campaign, averaging an impressive 17.6 PPR points per game. He has found the end zone seven times in eight games and averaged a solid 70.0 receiving yards per game. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring his status throughout the week in case he faces a setback, but he should be expected to return to action and be started in all formats as a high-end TE1.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (concussion) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Ferguson suffered a concussion early in the Monday night loss to the Houston Texans and was ruled out quickly. Head coach Mike McCarthy said on Tuesday that Ferguson is fighting an uphill battle to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week to play on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Fantasy managers should be putting the 25-year-old on their benches this week while hoping he'll be able to return to play in the annual Thanksgiving game against the division-rival New York Giants. Backup Luke Schoonmaker stepped in for six catches on 10 targets for 56 yards against Houston, and he could be worth a look as a TE2 streamer in fantasy if you're desperate at the position in Week 12.
