Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Xavier Legette

Thursday, November 21, 6:36 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Kittle has been dealing with some hamstring irritation of late and was held out of the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old intends to return this Sunday to face the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, though, and fantasy managers need to move him back into all starting lineups. He could be a little more risky as a TE1 in his first game back after missing last week, but Kittle has been the most productive TE for fantasy managers this year when active, so he's a no-brainer must-start if he's playing. Despite missing two games this season, Kittle is the TE2 in overall fantasy points, behind only rookie Brock Bowers. Kittle's seven touchdowns lead all tight ends.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette recorded three receptions for 40 yards in Carolina's 20-17 win over the New York Giants in Munich, Germany. It was Legette's second-most receiving yards in a game this year, as he has only eclipsed the 50-yard mark once. The rookie, who has emerged most as a red-zone threat, did not receive a target in that area of the field. While Carolina has a Week 11 bye in the future, Legette remains a touchdown-dependent streaming option in deep leagues. The Carolina passing attack is not dynamic enough to properly feed the mouths they have, making Legette a flex play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12 coming off the bye.
