Kittle has caught at least four passes in six straight games, racking up a 33-371-4 line on 39 targets during that stretch. He'll get a breather during San Francisco's bye next week before taking on Tennessee in Week 15.

49ers' George Kittle: Leading receiver on MNF
George Kittle finished with six receptions (on 10 targets) for 78 yards in Monday's 20-9 victory over the Panthers.Kittle finished Monday's primetime tilt as the game's leading receiver off a season-high 10 targets. The 31-year-old has really found his groove since going catchless in his return from a hamstring injury Week 7, providing fantasy managers with a 29-304-4 receiving line over his last five starts. Kittle may be asked to utilize his elite blocking skills more than usual Week 13 in order to help the offensive line deal with the unstoppable force that is DE Myles Garrett when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Browns on Sunday.

49ers' George Kittle: Carries over hot play from Week 10
George Kittle hauled in all six of his targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-22 rout of the Cardinals.Kittle welcomed back starting quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) with literal open arms, getting wide open in the end zone on two separate occasions. The talented duo picked up right where it left off when the teammates last played together back in Week 1, when Kittle hit pay dirt before suffering a hamstring injury that would land the tight end on injured reserve. The 31-year-old Kittle was already coming off of a season-best performance against the Rams in Week 10 (9-84-1), with Sunday's two-score day officially putting the fantasy stud on a hot streak. Kittle will attempt to one-up himself against the Panthers under the bright lights of Monday Night Football in Week 12.

49ers' George Kittle: Best fantasy game this season
George Kittle secured all nine of his targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-26 loss to the Rams.It took a one-sided loss to do it, but Kittle finally produced the kind of stat line managers were hoping for when selecting the tight end early in drafts. The star tight end has chipped in with three touchdown catches across five active games, with Sunday's output marking the first time he surpassed four receptions or 43 receiving yards. The injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers may need to rely on Kittle's receiving abilities in order to remain a threat down the stretch.

49ers' George Kittle: Four catches in Week 9 win
George Kittle caught all four of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-24 win over the Giants.Kittle focused primarily on blocking, as the San Francisco 49ers fed Christian McCaffrey 33 touches, which the star running back turned into 173 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. In three games since returning from a hamstring injury suffered in Week 1, Kittle has produced just 75 yards and a touchdown. The possible return of Brock Purdy (toe) against the Rams in Week 10 may get Kittle going.

49ers' George Kittle: Commemorates 'holiday' with TD
George Kittle brought in four of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in the San Francisco 49ers' 26-15 loss to the Texans on Sunday.Kittle commemorated the National Tight End Day quasi-holiday he helped bring about by recording his second touchdown of the season on a 17-yard grab just before halftime. Kittle had been shut out altogether in his Week 7 return from a hamstring injury, so Sunday's production was a particularly welcome sight for fantasy managers and included a new season-high yardage total for the veteran tight end. Kittle draws another favorable matchup irrespective of who his quarterback is when the 49ers face the Giants on the road in Week 9.

49ers' George Kittle: No catches in return from injury
George Kittle (hamstring) failed to bring in either of his targets in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Falcons.It was a Christian McCaffrey focused gameplan out of the gates Sunday, resulting in no San Francisco receiver topping 31 yards in the win. Kittle's managers were hoping for more after he spent the last five-plus weeks tending to his injured hamstring on IR. The star tight end didn't appear limited while running routes, which is the only silver lining from Sunday's bagel in the box score. Kittle will look to get more involved offensively against the Texans next Sunday for a San Francisco 49ers squad that is still banged-up at the receiver position.

49ers' George Kittle: Off IR, clear for Sunday
The San Francisco 49ers activated George Kittle (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he has no designation for Sunday's game against the Falcons.Kittle thus is set for his first game action since San Francisco's Week 1 win at Seattle, when he suffered a torn hamstring. The state of the 49ers offense is much different six weeks later, with QB Brock Purdy sidelined again due to a lingering turf toe injury and multiple injuries impacting the receiving corps. Kittle will be in the mix for passes from fill-in signal-caller Mac Jones, and the former will be joined by WRs Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson, RB Christian McCaffrey and fellow TE Jake Tonges.

49ers' George Kittle: On track for activation
San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed Friday that the team plans to activate George Kittle (hamstring) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.Kittle said Thursday that he's back at full strength and ready to play. Shanahan all but confirmed it, although the San Francisco 49ers could still list the tight end as questionable on their final Week 7 injury report. Either way, the team needs to activate Kittle from IR before 4 p.m. ET on Saturday if he's going to play Sunday. Kittle won't be on a so-called "pitch count," but Shanahan said the 49ers could "space it out throughout the game" in response to questions about what the tight end's workload will look like in his first game since Week 1.

49ers' George Kittle: Limited again Thursday
George Kittle (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.Since the San Francisco 49ers designated him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kittle has maintained his listed activity level on the 49ers' first two Week 7 injury reports. Per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com, Kittle said that he suffered a full tear of his hamstring Week 1 at Seattle, which spurred extra caution in his recovery effort. However, Kittle added that he's back to full health and intends to suit up this weekend. San Francisco will need to activate him from IR by Saturday afternoon in order to have him available Sunday versus the Falcons.
