Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Tucker Kraft

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to be activated from Injured Reserve ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Kittle only played in the season opener and has been sidelined since then due to a hamstring injury. The 49ers have no plans to limit Kittle or have him on a snap count for his return this weekend. This roster is still significantly banged up, so Kittle should immediately be an impact player. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging Kittle back into their lineups this weekend, barring any setbacks.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been an inconsistent option at tight end this season, but he will look to keep his season going on a high note when Kraft and the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Despite averaging just 4.5 targets in five games this season, Kraft is the TE8 in fantasy scoring. Last week, he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the Packers' win over the Bengals. Consistent volume has been a bit difficult to come by for Kraft this season, as his production has largely been dependent on touchdowns. Despite just one top-10 fantasy tight end performance this season, Kraft is a solid start against Arizona. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position on the season, so fire up Kraft and hope he gets into the end zone in Week 7.
