• 49ers' George Kittle: Critical fumble in Week 7 loss

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Kittle brought in eight of 10 targets for 88 yards and lost a fumble in the 49ers' 29-20 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. Kittle lead the 49ers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon in which the 49ers were down Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), and in which Christian McCaffrey missed the entire second quarter due to a quadriceps injury. All three components of the veteran tight end's receiving line were also season-best figures, but Kittle's lost fumble at the Falcons' 19-yard line with 57 seconds remaining following a 22-yard catch snuffed out any hope of a comeback for the Niners. Despite the unsavory conclusion to Sunday's game, Kittle will remain a key target for Brock Purdy in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8 following a Week 8 bye.

  Kittle brought in five of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 23-17 win over the Commanders on Monday night. Kittle was one of Brock Purdy's most effective targets on the night, finishing with the 49ers' second-highest reception, receiving yardage and target totals. The athletic tight end was also on the other end of Brock Purdy's one touchdown pass, recording an 11-yard scoring grab to cap off the opening possession of the night. Kittle has at least four receptions in five consecutive games and Monday night's receiving yardage total or higher in four of his first six contests of the season, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 7 road matchup against the Falcons on Sunday.

• 49ers' George Kittle: Will play through illness Sunday

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  The 49ers announced that Kittle is dealing with an illness but will play in Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Kittle remains without an official designation for Sunday's contest, so despite being under the weather, the expectation is that he'll play without any limitations. After tearing his Achilles in a Jan. 11 wild-card round win over the Eagles, the seven-time Pro Bowler has staged a successful comeback so far during the 2026 campaign. Through four games, Kittle has produced a 16-244-4 receiving line on 22 targets.

  Kittle secured four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday. Kittle was having an unremarkable day until just before the two-minute warning, when he brought in a tight-end screen from Brock Purdy, turned upfield and raced 56 yards to the end zone to extend what had been a thin 17-14 lead for the 49ers. Kittle finished second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for San Francisco, while also tying for runner-up status in targets. Kittle now has at least 70 receiving yards in three straight games, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

He had just 12 receiving yards in the Week 1 win over the Rams, as Kittle returned from an Achilles tear sustained in January.
