Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Jalen Hurts

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.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had his best performance of the season as a passer in his team's 28-22 Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 326 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Quietly, Hurts has now thrown for at least 280 yards in each of his team's last three games after topping 200 passing yards just once in his first four contests. For the season, Hurts has now recorded 1,498 passing yards and 11 passing touchdowns while adding 185 yards and five touchdowns as a rusher. He remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup at home against the New York Giants.
