49ers' George Kittle: Continues to ball out
George 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 San Francisco 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.

49ers' George Kittle: Leads injured receiving crew
George Kittle secured six of seven targets for 128 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over Dallas.Kittle went off against Dallas in a primetime matchup, leading his team in all receiving categories while catching Brock Purdy's lone touchdown pass. The San Francisco 49ers were already shorthanded before losing wideout Deebo Samuel (ribs) to injury in this contest, so Kittle may be asked to do even more as the season progresses. For now, the San Francisco will enter its bye week and rest multiple injured starters ahead of a Nov. 10 tilt against Tampa Bay. The eccentric tight end has been a fantasy stud through eight games, producing a 40/503/7 receiving line for managers.
