49ers TE George Kittle expects to return for Week 4

Sep 27, 2024

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) sounds like he expects to return on Sunday against the Patriots. Says he's "very excited to play football" and "feeling fantastic."

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

With Deebo Samuel more or less in the same boat, the 49ers are looking forward to getting some reinforcements after a brutal stretch of injuries. Kittle would be an absolute must-start if he returns in time for Sunday.

Eagles might be missing both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in Week 4

Still no A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) at practice. #Eagles WRs trending toward not playing Sunday at the Bucs.

Fantasy Impact:

Things have gotten thin in Philadelphia, and they may have no choice but to try and get Goedert to repeat his 10-170-0 stat line from last week. It's probably best to skip the ancillary wide receivers here and just fire Saquon Barkley and Goedert everywhere you can.

Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase returns to practice Thursday

Ja’Marr Chase is dressed for practice after popping up on the injury report yesterday with a shoulder injury. I don’t see Trey Hendrickson who didn’t practice yesterday with an illness

Related Players: Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Mike Gesicki

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like Chase will be good to go, which means he's an auto-click as a locked-in WR1.

Texans RBs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce not practicing on Thursday

Aaron Wilson

yesterday · 1:41 PM EDT

Texans’ Tank Dell managing pain of bruised ribs, unlikely to play against Jaguars; Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce still sidelined.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale

Fantasy Impact:

Akers got most of the RB load in Week 3 but in a game where they were playing from behind, that equated to only nine rush attempts. He should get more run against the Patriots if Mixon and Pierce miss, making him a fringe RB2/3.
