San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle posted game bests with nine receptions and 84 yards in Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with a touchdown and nine targets.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle missed over a month due to injury. Upon returning in Week 7, he went without a catch. In his past two games, he had eight total catches for 75 yards and a touchdown, and he eclipsed that in just this one game. He finally looks healthy, and Kittle appears to have knocked off the rust of the long layoff. Whenever he is active, Kittle remains an obvious must-start in all fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener and landed on Injured Reserve, so it's been a frustrating season for his fantasy managers. However, Kittle showed on Sunday why he's still a high-end fantasy TE when he's healthy. In the team's 42-26 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, he led the team by catching all nine of his targets for a season-high 84 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the season. Kittle's nine targets were tied for second on the team, and his nine catches and 84 receiving yards led the 49ers. The 32-year-old veteran's touchdown was a nifty show of athleticism as he tiptoed the sideline and dove for the pile-on. Kittle also made a highlight-reel catch earlier in the game where he laid out with full extension to make the grab. He had more yards on Sunday than he did in his previous three games, and he could be starting to heat up just in time for quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) to potentially return in Week 11 against the Cardinals.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle caught four passes for 32 yards against the New York Giants in Week 9. He was targeted four times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle has caught 12 of his 15 targets so far this season but has been held to under 45 yards in all four of his games. He is still an important part of the passing game and should see more targets once Brock Purdy returns to the lineup. He will be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues next week.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (oblique) was a full participant in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.

Fantasy Spin: After being blanked in his return to the lineup, Kittle had four grabs and a touchdown in Week 8. His role in the offense should only grow as he shakes off the rust, and Kittle should be considered a TE1 going forward.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers C Jake Brendel (hamstring), DE Yetur Gross-Matos (hamstring, knee), DE Bryce Huff (hamstring) and WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and have been ruled out for Week 9. DT Jordan Elliott (ankle) did not practice and is listed as questionable. OG Ben Bartch (ankle), DE Sam Okuayinonu (ankle), QB Brock Purdy (toe) and LB Dee Winters (knee) were limited during practice and are listed as questionable. OT Spencer Burford (knee) fully participated in practice but is listed as questionable. DT Alfred Collins (shoulder), DT Kalia Davis (hand), WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib, shoulder), QB Mac Jones (knee), TE George Kittle (oblique), RB Christian McCaffrey (non-injury), CB Upton Stout (shoulder) and OT Trent Williams (non-injury) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (oblique) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle has only played in three games this season but has two touchdowns during that span. He should see a good amount of targets no matter the quarterback this week and can be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (oblique) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle is coming off a decent game with 43 yards and one touchdown last week. He should see a good amount of targets in the passing game in Week 9 and should be a No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of his five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-15 loss to the Houston Texans. It was a lukewarm observance of National Tight Ends Day for the unofficial holiday's founder, but on a day when the 49ers' offense generated just 223 net yards, Kittle's performance stood out. The production was reassuring for fantasy managers who were left hanging in Week 7, when Kittle posted a goose egg in his first game back from injured reserve. Kittle's five targets were third-most on the team, after Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) and Christian McCaffrey. He should remain a priority target even after Ricky Pearsall (knee) returns to action. Next on the docket for the 49ers is a potential rebound game against the Giants, who allowed Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert two touchdowns in their Week 8 meeting.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle posted four receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 8 against the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Spin: The score came on National Tight Ends Day, a 'holiday' Kittle is responsible for making up, first appearing in 2018. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief. After returning from a lengthy absence, Kittle was blanked last week on two targets. He is a fantasy must-start in all leagues whenever he is active. The 49ers travel to meet the New York Giants in Week 9.

From TheHuddle

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle returned from injured reserve last Sunday and promptly put up a goose egg. It was the first game in his career that he didn't record a reception. Kittle, who was used almost exclusively as a blocker last week, should see his involvement in the passing attack increase, even with Mac Jones (knee, oblique) once again starting in place of Brock Purdy (toe). Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) practiced in full all week and carries no designation, but Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been declared out, leaving extra targets on the table. In Week 8, the 49ers square off against the Texans, who are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends and have given up just one touchdown to the position. Kittle is still a must-start, as his abilities as a receiver give him TE1 potential even in a difficult matchup.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) returned from injured reserve in time for the team's 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 7. To the dismay of fantasy football managers awaiting his return, Kittle finished the game with zero receptions and saw only two targets. If there is a silver lining, it is that the 49ers did not hold back on getting Kittle on the field. The tight end saw an 81% snap share, which was the second-highest rate among the team's offensive skill position players. Rather than rely on Kittle as a pass-catcher, San Francisco utilized him primarily as an extra blocker in the run game. A healthy Kittle usually operates as one of the 49ers' primary targets, and with wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's (knee) status for Week 8 up in the air, a rebound to TE1 territory against the Houston Texans is within reach.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle was targeted twice in Week 7 against the Atlanta Falcons, but he was unable to record any receptions in his first game back from the Reserve/Injured list.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle's return was a huge disappointment. He'll look to rebound in Week 8 at Houston, and it coincides with National Tight Ends Day, a concept he came up with a few years back. You can expect Kittle to be much better, and as long as he is active, he is a top-tier fantasy tight end.

From TheHuddle

The San Francisco 49ers activated tight end George Kittle (hamstring) from injured reserve on Saturday, and he's set to return for Sunday Night Football against the Falcons. Kittle played just 20 snaps in Week 1 against the Seahawks before suffering a hamstring injury that landed him on injured reserve. The stud tight end rewarded fantasy managers with four catches (four targets) for 25 yards and a touchdown before leaving, and now makes his return after missing five games. With several 49ers receivers sidelined, Kittle could see an increased target share on Sunday night against an Atlanta defense that has surrendered the fewest receptions to tight ends this year. Despite the challenging matchup, he remains a high-end TE1 for Week 7 and going forward.
