Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Josh Jacobs

Saturday, November 29, 4:33 AM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle started slowly in his return from injured reserve, putting up an 8-75-1 line in his first three games back. Since Week 10, Kittle turned things around and has averaged seven receptions, 76.3 yards, and one touchdown per game. On Sunday, the 49ers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns, who just allowed a combined 11 catches for 105 yards to the Raiders' tight end group. The forecast in Cleveland calls for strong winds, rain, and snow, which could steer the 49ers into leaning on their run game. Kittle should remain a factor, especially when San Francisco closes in on the end zone. Over the last three weeks, Kittle is tied for the third-most targets and has the fourth-most receptions in the red zone. He projects as a TE1 and can be started in fantasy football lineups in Week 13.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) will play on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions and feels close to 100%, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jacobs suffered a bone bruise in his knee in Green Bay's win over the New York Giants in Week 11 and was close to suiting up in Week 12, but with a second game coming up on Thursday, the team held him out, and he should be a full go against the Lions. Emanuel Wilson filled in admirably for the 27-year-old last week, handling 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, but he will return to backup duties with Jacobs back. Jacobs had scored nine touchdowns in his last six games before exiting early against the Giants, and fantasy managers will be happy to plug him back into their lineups in Week 13.
