49ers TE George Kittle (knee) says he feels 'fantastic'

Sep 14, 2020

George Kittle began his postgame Zoom call by loudly declaring: “I feel fantastic. Fantastic. Not an issue at all.”

If there was an issue, it appeared to be with his left knee, which seemed to get hyperextended on a hit by safety Budda Baker just before halftime. Baker crashed into the knee just as Kittle descended after leaping for a high pass from Garoppolo. The tight end left the game and was examined on the bench and in the locker room by the team’s orthopedic surgeon but played throughout the second half.

“I know he went out with a lower leg injury,” Shanahan said. “They don’t get into specifics with me. At halftime, he told me he was good to go, so he returned. I’m sure we’ll find out a little bit more (Monday) morning when he comes in.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle wasn’t targeted at all after halftime and he finished with four catches for 44 yards. The team’s No. 2 tight end, Reed, finished with two catches for 12 yards. Kittle seems to be OK after coming back in the second half, but it's worth monitoring.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

Scott Bair

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
