George Kittle Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Kittle will have a “realistic chance” to make it back for Week 12. His absence today leaves Eric Saubert as San Francisco’s lead TE. He’d be a desperation fantasy play. RB Christian McCaffrey and WRs Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall should pick up extra targets with Kittle out.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter writes that 49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is “unlikely” to play Sunday vs. Seattle. Per Schefter, Kittle's injury "is not considered a long-term injury," and the TE is expected to return next week vs. Green Bay. We’ll know his official status around 2:30ET today, but fantasy managers should certainly make other plans. View our Week 11 TE rankings.

49ers TE George Kittle is "day to day" with a sprained foot, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. It sounds like Kittle has a decent chance to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Cowboys, but we'll keep a close eye on him this week. TE Eric Saubert caught both of his targets for 41 yards as San Francisco's lead TE when Kittle missed Week 3.

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 7 loss to the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "There may be other damage," Rapoport adds. Aiyuk will miss the rest of the 2024 season. And any "other damage" to his knee could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign. We'll keep you updated on Aiyuk's diagnosis and timeline for return.

Niners TE George Kittle led the team in targets (7), receptions (6), and receiving yards (92) in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. That marked his sixth straight game with at least 4 receptions and 40 yards. That's Kittle's longest such streak since 2018.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said after Sunday's loss to the Chiefs that "we're worried" WR Brandon Aiyuk has a torn ACL. "Not confirmed yet," Shanahan added. We should get an update on Aiyuk tomorrow, but a torn ACL would end his 2024 season. His absence would mean target boosts for WR Deebo Samuel and TE George Kittle -- and put WR Jauan Jennings back into weekly starter consideration.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings (hip) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that WR Ricky Pearsall will make his debut this weekend, but we can't imagine he'll play a big role after missing most of training camp and then getting shot in late August. Jennings' absence is a slight boost to WR Deebo Samuel, WR Brandon Aiyuk, and TE George Kittle.

Niners TE George Kittle tied WR Brandon Aiyuk for the team lead in targets (12) and receptions (8) in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He tallied 64 yards and caught the team's lone TD pass. No other 49er caught more than one pass for the game.

49ers TE George Kittle (ribs) is active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable. But Kittle played through this injury in the second half of last week’s game and should be ready for something close to his usual role today.

But he was able to play through this injury in the second half of last week’s game and will be out there again today. There's some risk of re-injury here if Kittle takes a big hit, but he belongs in basically all fantasy lineups.
