49ers TE George Kittle remains out of practice

Sep 15, 2022

Things aren't looking good for George Kittle to return for the 49ers in Week 2, stemming from a groin injury suffered ahead of the team's opening game in Chicago.

Related Players: Ross Dwelley, Tyler Kroft

Fantasy Impact:

Unlike other situations around the league (the Raiders, for example) there is no plug-and-play option for the 49ers in regards to the tight end position. The team schemes plays for George Kittle himself, not necessarily the position. Trey Lance can run himself into fantasy relevance regardless, but his ceiling is lowered without one of the best play-making TEs in the league, if Kittle were to miss another week of action.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
