49ers' George Kittle: Goes YAC mode on CHI
George Kittle had six receptions on as many targets for 151 yards in Sunday's 38-13 win over Chicago.Kittle played like a man possessed against the Bears after recording just one reception for seven yards the week prior. Weather played a huge role in the road stinker against Buffalo, so Sunday's sunny conditions allowed the star tight end to feast on Chicago's defense. Kittle upped his season line to 56-800-8 in the much-needed win, confirming the tight end's upper-echelon status in fantasy ahead of Thursday's primetime tilt against the Rams.

49ers' George Kittle: Just one catch Sunday
George Kittle had one reception (on two targets) for seven yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to Buffalo.The San Francisco 49ers threw for just 94 yards on the road in a snowstorm in Buffalo, resulting in paltry stat lines for Kittle and most of the team's other pass catchers in the blowout loss. The star tight end had been on an absolute tear this season, so fantasy managers should write Sunday's poor showing off as an anomaly. The 49ers return home to California for next Sunday's matchup against the Bears, which should ease any concerns Kittle's shareholders heading into Week 14.

49ers' George Kittle: Officially inactive Sunday
George Kittle (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Seahawks, Lindsey Pallares of the San Francisco 49ers' official site reports.Kittle has dealt with a few injuries this season, including a hamstring issue that capped him to two limited practices during Week 11 prep and left him questionable for Sunday's game. Having said that, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported early Sunday morning that Kittle wasn't likely to play, with his availability subject to a pregame warmup. With inactive status now confirmed for Kittle, he'll miss his second contest of the campaign.
