San Francisco 49ers Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan hasn't sounded particularly concerned about Purdy's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks, and the fact that Purdy did anything on Wednesday is encouraging. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to practice on Wednesday, HC Kyle Shanahan said. That makes Kittle likely to play vs. the Packers this weekend, barring a setback. We'll keep you updated on his status.

49ers QB Brock Purdy is "day to day" with soreness in his right (throwing) shoulder, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Shanahan said the soreness is from a hit Purdy took in the Week 11 loss to the Seahawks. This doesn't sound like a serious injury, but a throwing shoulder injury on a QB is always worth monitoring closely. QB Brandon Allen is listed with the second team on San Francisco's depth chart; Joshua Dobs with the third team.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey ran 19 times for 79 yards and caught four of five targets for 27 yards. McCaffrey didn’t find the end zone, being bottled up for much of the game by the Seahawks defense.

49ers QB Brock Purdy completed 20-of-27 passes for 157 yards including a TD and a tipped interception. He excelled on the ground rushing five times for 40 yards including a diving TD at the pylon.

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 WR Jauan Jennings (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 11 injury report. He was a full-go on Friday after being limited on Thursday. Jennings is safe to keep in fantasy lineups as an upside WR3.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Kyle Shanahan hasn’t expressed much concern about Kittle’s availability for this one, so we’re expecting him to play. But we’ll look for further updates on Kittle. We won’t get San Francisco’s inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings was added to the injury report with an ankle and limited in practice on Thursday. That likely means Jennings was injured in practice today and puts his status for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks in question. We'll see if Jennings practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. HC Kyle Shanahan hasn't sounded concerned about Kittle's status this week, so we're expecting him to play vs. the Seahawks on Sunday. Check back tomorrow to see how Kittle is listed on the final injury report.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan doesn't seem worried about his status for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. "The concern level isn’t too high," Shanahan said Wednesday. "I expect to have him out at practice tomorrow. [The hamstring] is just irritated, we’ll be smart today. I feel pretty good about him." We'll keep you updated on Kittle, but he can stay penciled into Week 11 fantasy lineups.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that TE George Kittle came out of the win over the Bucs with "hamstring irritation." Shanahan added, "so we’ll see how the week goes with him, and how he feels on Wednesday." We'll keep you updated on Kittle's status throughout the week. There's not another TE in San Francisco worth adding to fantasy rosters.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey totaled 19 touches and 107 yards in Sunday’s win over Tampa Bay. He played over 80% of the snaps in his 2024 debut.

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) is officially active for today’s game against the Buccaneers. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. And ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that CMC should be “full force” today. Get him in Week 10 starting lineups.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) is active for today’s game vs. the Bucs. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we haven’t heard anything to suggest that Samuel won’t be a full-go today.

ESPN's Adam Schefter said on NFL Countdown that RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) "will be out there in full force" vs. the Buccaneers today. "The 49ers thought they were gonna give him half the work today. But with the way that he's looked in practice the last two weeks, I think their expectations rose," Schefter added. McCaffrey belongs in all Week 10 fantasy lineups and is a strong DFS tournament play.

49ers WR Deebo Samuel (rib, oblique) is expected to play vs. the Buccaneers today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Samuel was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. But, barring a report on his snaps being limited today, Samuel belongs locked into Week 10 fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) will play vs. the Buccaneers today. "The team believes McCaffrey could have played last week," Schefter adds. The news has been all positive on McCaffrey for a while now. We'll keep an eye out for any updates on his expected workload today. But, as of now, we're projecting him to play something close to his normal role.

49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is off the final Week 10 injury report and will be back for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. San Francisco is rocking a 28.5-point implied total for that one – second highest on the week – making Moody a nice fantasy option.
