George Kittle

Week 8 vs. Dallas Cowboys

The injuries continue to pile up for the 49ers as George Kittle is now dealing with a foot injury. He is questionable for Sunday. He was limited on Thursday and Friday but does seem likely to play. If he does, he may be the top passing option for Brock Purdy with Deebo Samuel ill and Brandon Aiyuk now done for the season. He faces the Cowboys, who rank 19th against the pass. Kittle may see a ton of targets his way Sunday night, perhaps challenging his season-high of 12.

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks

George Kittle’s 12 targets were his most in a game this season and was tied with Brandon Aiyuk for the most against Arizona Sunday. Kittle is also on a stretch of three straight games played with a touchdown. He has a chance to make it four straight against a Seattle team that is banged up on defense and has allowed the 4th-most receiving yards to tight ends this season. San Francisco is trying to avoid a 2-4 start and someone like Kittle is crazy enough to do anything possible to help get the 49ers back even in the win-loss department. Kittle should be just fine for fantasy purposes this week.

Week 4 vs. New England Patriots

George Kittle is set to return this week after missing one game with a hamstring injury. In his last game, he caught seven passes for 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Vikings. He gets a favorable matchup against the Patriots. Kittle is our No. 3 tight end this week as he should see plenty of opportunities, especially if Deebo Samuel can't play.
