Report: 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) to miss at least eight weeks

Nov 02, 2020

Further testing on the injury that knocked star tight end George Kittle out of the game revealed that he has a small fracture in his foot. According to a report from NFL Network, Kittle will miss extended time due to the injury. ESPN reported that Kittle will miss at least eight weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle's season may very well be over at this point. It's likely that Ross Dwelley will see additional snaps at tight end, and could be an immediate fantasy fill-in, while fullback Kyle Juszczyk should see increased usage as well. Kittle is key not only to the 49ers' passing game, but also their rushing attack. He's the best blocking tight end in the league, acting essentially as an additional offensive lineman. San Francisco may have to adjust some things in the run game to account for his absence, the story said. The team also lost QB Jimmy Garoppolo for an indefinite amount of time due to a lingering high ankle sprain.

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.

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

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

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.
