San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was largely uninvolved in his team's offensive attack in a 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. He caught his only target for nine yards on a day in which fantasy managers were hoping he could carry momentum over from a seven-catch, 90-yard performance in Week 3. Deebo Samuel was also left in the cold on Sunday as wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and running back Christian McCaffrey combined for 79.9% of San Francisco's total offensive yardage. Kittle will look to contribute more in Week 5 when the 49ers host the Dallas Cowboys in a marquee matchup on Sunday night.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 56 yards in the Thursday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't a massive boom performance for the rookie tight end, but it should keep fantasy managers in PPR leagues afloat ahead of the full Week 4 slate. LaPorta has seen at least five targets in all of his contests, which is more than can be said about a large chunk of the available tight ends on the waiver wire. He is a must-start in all matchups after being the fantasy TE2 through the first three weeks of the season.
