George Kittle News

George Kittle Officially Cleared for Week 2

Friday, September 18, 2:59 PM

As expected, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and was not on Friday's final injury report, according to David Furones of The South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Kittle tore his Achilles tendon in a playoff game in January, but he made enough progress to be active in the Week 1 season-opening win over the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Australia, although he played only 46% of the offensive snaps and caught two of his five targets for 12 yards. The 32-year-old veteran had a quiet season opener, but that was to be expected in his first game back from a season-ending injury late last season. In Week 2 at home against the visiting Miami Dolphins, Kittle should see more of the field, especially since fellow TE Jake Tonges (knee) has been ruled out for the year. The seven-time Pro Bowler might not be totally back to himself yet, but he should be a more acceptable low-end TE1/high-end TE2 play in fantasy lineups in a cushy matchup.

Omarion Hampton News

Omarion Hampton Disappoints in Upset Loss

Sunday, September 13, 7:36 PM

Los Angeles Chargers running back Omarion Hampton had 12 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old was a non-factor in the passing game and had zero targets out of the backfield. Hampton started the game with a nine-yard rushing touchdown to cap off a 77-yard drive. However, he went from hero to zero on the next drive after fumbling the football that led to a Cardinals field goal. In a favorable matchup, Hampton only garnered 9.3 fantasy points and will likely finish outside the top 30 running backs in PPR leagues. Hampton will look to bounce back next week at home against a Las Vegas Raiders defense that only allowed 74 rushing yards in their home opener.
