San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle swept all three team receiving categories and caught his 500th career pass in a 30-24 home win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. He was a clear focal point of the offense and finished with six receptions on seven targets for 128 yards and a touchdown. Kittle has been immensely valuable for fantasy managers this year, as he was drafted as the TE6 by ADP, but has a huge lead over all others as the overall TE1 on a per-game basis. He's at 15.2 PPG in Yahoo default scoring while second place is occupied by Las Vegas' Brock Bowers at 10.8. Looking ahead, Kittle's value should remain stable with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season, even if Kittle loses a few targets when Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) returns. San Francisco has a Week 9 bye upcoming, followed by a Week 10 date at Tampa Bay.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) was activated off the injured reserve and is expected to make his season debut next week. In a corresponding move, the Vikings placed offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw on the injured reserve. Hockenson has been sidelined since the beginning of the season after suffering a torn ACL and MCL last year. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status next week during practice but should be expected to return to action. Before suffering a season-ending injury, the 27-year-old tight end was on pace to enjoy the best season of his career as he caught 95 passes for 960 yards and five scores. He should be viewed as a high-end TE1 for the remainder of the season.
