Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Trevor Lawrence

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle) "has a chance" to play on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears in Week 17, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Kittle is not taking part in Wednesday's practice, but the team will see how he does in the next few days. The 32-year-old Pro Bowl tight end suffered an ankle sprain in the second half of Monday night's blowout win over the Indianapolis Colts and didn't return. He might not need to practice at all this week to play, but it could be a tough decision for fantasy managers to make on Kittle if he's a true game-time decision with this weekend's contest coming on Sunday night. Kittle is a no-doubt, must-start TE1 in fantasy when he's healthy. If the Niners play it safe and keep him out against the Bears, Jake Tonges would enter the TE2 streaming picture in deeper leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has completed 60.8% of his passes for 1,082 yards and 12 touchdown passes while adding 112 yards and a couple of scores on the ground in the hottest four-game stretch of his career. Lawrence also hasn't turned the ball over in a career-best four straight games, which have all been wins. "He's able to just go out and play freely," head coach Liam Coen said, "now that he's more comfortable with the operation." The former first overall pick threw three touchdowns and ran one in during the impressive 34-20 victory in Denver against the Broncos on Sunday. The Jags have averaged 33 points per game since Week 9, second-most in the league during that span. "We haven't changed a single thing from the moment we started coaching him," Coen said. "Sometimes, it just takes time to click." Now that he's clicking in Coen's offense, Lawrence will look to keep his hot streak going in Week 17 against the division-rival Indianapolis Colts, where he'll be a midrange QB1 in fantasy football.
