• 49ers' George Kittle: Tending to hamstring injury

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Kittle is dealing with "hamstring irritation" in the wake of Sunday's win at Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Kittle has been listed with hamstring, rib and foot issues on injury reports this season, but he's still logged more than 85 percent of the offensive snaps in seven of his eight appearances en route to a cumulative 43-560-7 line on 53 targets. Shanahan said the current health concern will be watched as the week continues, putting Kittle's status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks at least somewhat in question.

• 49ers' George Kittle: Continues to ball out

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Kittle had three receptions on four targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Buccaneers. Kittle continued his dominant fantasy campaign by scoring his seventh touchdown through eight active games. The star tight end had picked up the slack offensively while the 49ers suffered multiple injuries to key players over the first half of the season. With the team welcoming back star tailback Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) on Sunday, it was a positive sign to see the tight end still posting big fantasy numbers as the offense returns to full strength. Kittle continues to be one of the top options at his position heading into a Week 11 matchup against Seattle.

  Kittle and Otton face off with the best tight of the season, facing the best tight end of the last two weeks. Kittle is averaging 18 PPR FPPG this season, and I'm not sure that drops much since Brandon Aiyuk is out for the season. He has a much better matchup than Otton this week, trust Kittle in cash games.

• 49ers' George Kittle: Active in Week 8

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Kittle (foot) is active for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports. Kittle tended to a foot sprain during Week 8 prep, limiting him to a pair of capped sessions Thursday and Friday and leaving his status up in the air for Sunday. Having said that, he'll be available to San Francisco's offense this weekend along with WR Deebo Samuel (illness). The pair should be the team's featured pass catchers for the foreseeable future with WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season and WR Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined for a second straight contest.

• 49ers' George Kittle: Expected to play

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Kittle (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Kittle suffered a foot sprain in last week's loss to Kansas City and missed practice Wednesday, but after logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday, he looks to be trending toward playing Sunday. Official word on Kittle's status will arrive 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, when the 49ers will release their inactive list. The 49ers are expecting to have both Kittle and wideout Deebo Samuel (illness) -- who is also listed as questionable -- available Sunday, a major boon for a passing game that will be without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (hip).
