George Kittle To Make Season Debut Sunday Night
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) was removed from the injury report this week and will make his season debut on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos in Week 3, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Kittle was limited the first two days of the week before being a full-go on Friday. The last time he faced Denver, Kittle had seven catches for 210 yards and a touchdown in 2018. The 28-year-old will be working with old friend Jimmy Garoppolo, who is now back as the team's starter after Trey Lance suffered a season-ending broken ankle last week. Kittle might need to shake off some rust on Sunday night, but fantasy managers that have him rostered should slide him back into their starting lineups.
Sep 23, 2022 • 11:45 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Practices Again Thursday
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) got in another limited practice on Thursday. Kittle was looking much better at the end of last week before missing his second straight game to open up the season, but he's been limited so far this week and is trending in the right direction to make his 2022 season debut on Sunday night against the Denver Broncos. The 28-year-old will still be a shaky fantasy play this weekend if he's truly questionable for Sunday night, but we should have a better idea on whether he'll actually play in the next few days. Tyler Kroft (knee) is set to miss a few weeks with a sprained MCL, so if Kittle misses a third straight game, it will be Ross Dwelley and Charlie Woerner stepping into bigger roles at the position.
Sep 23, 2022 • 2:56 AM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Limited In Wednesday's Practice
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Wednesday. Kittle has been unable to take the field yet this season, but was "close to playing" in Week 2 according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers are reportedly optimistic that they will have their star tight end back for their Week 3 matchup with the Denver Broncos. If he is able to progress throughout the week and suits up on Sunday night, he will be a high-end TE1 and must be started in fantasy lineups.
Sep 21, 2022 • 11:33 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Was "Close To Playing" Against Seahawks
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) missed his second consecutive game to open the season on Sunday against the Seahawks. While this is not how anyone hoped he would begin the year, it sounds like he may be nearing a return. Head coach Kyle Shanahan described him as "close to playing" on Sunday, emphasizing that the decision to rest him will get him healthier for Week 3 against the Broncos. The 49ers had to switch to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on Sunday because of the season-ending injury that Trey Lance (ankle) suffered. The change of signal-callers should generate more passing attempts, which could mean more fantasy points available for Kittle and Co. if he can suit up this Sunday against the Broncos. We'll monitor practice reports again this week, but the 28-year-old will be a must-start for fantasy football if he's active.
Sep 20, 2022 • 12:34 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Officially Inactive For Week 2
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is officially inactive for Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Although Kittle was listed as questionable and reportedly looked great at practice on Friday, his season debut will have to wait one more week. Tyler Kroft, Ross Dwelley, and Charlie Woerner will see increased snaps in his absence, but none of them are worth rostering in fantasy football this week.
Sep 18, 2022 • 6:34 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Unlikely To Play In Week 2
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is not expected to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Although Kittle was listed as questionable and reportedly looked great at practice on Friday, his season debut will have to wait one more week. The 49ers will proceed with some combination of Tyler Kroft, Ross Dwelley, and Charlie Woerner, none of whom are worth rostering in fantasy football. Look beyond the 49ers' offense if you are in need of a streaming tight end this week.
Sep 18, 2022 • 12:10 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Looked "Awesome" At Friday's Practice
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is officially questionable to play in Week 2 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle looked "awesome" in his return to practice on Friday. Kittle was officially limited on Friday after missing both Wednesday and Thursday. The 28-year-old didn't practice at all last week before he was inactive in the season-opening loss to the Chicago Bears. He'll still be a game-time decision in the later slate of games on Sunday, so fantasy managers must have a backup plan in place in case he's inactive for the second straight game. Tyler Kroft saw the most playing time of the team's tight ends with Kittle out last week, but he's not a realistic streamer if Kittle misses another game.
Sep 17, 2022 • 4:15 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle To Be Game-Time Call
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is expected to be a game-time decision in Week 2 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. "With a player like George, you wait right up until game time. . . . We'll hold out hope that George is ready," general manager John Lynch. Kittle suffered a groin injury last Monday and hasn't practiced since while also sitting out the Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears. Fantasy managers should have already made plans to be without the 28-year-old for the second straight week. Tyler Kroft played 55 percent of the snaps last week in Kittle's absence, but he only caught one pass for nine yards. Making things more difficult for Kittle's managers is the fact that the Niners don't play an early game on Sunday.
Sep 16, 2022 • 4:01 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Not Expected To Play In Week 2
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is not expected to play in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. He has been unable to practice this week and is expected to miss his second straight game due to a groin injury. "Hopefully, we'll have better luck this week," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said of Kittle. "Made a lot of progress." The 28-year-old hasn't officially been ruled out, but fantasy managers with Kittle should look for a streaming option in Week 2. Tyler Kroft and Ross Dwelley should continue to see an increase in snaps with Kittle sidelined, but neither tight end is a good fantasy option against the Seahawks.
Sep 16, 2022 • 1:12 PM | RotoBallerAnother DNP For George Kittle Thursday
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice for the second straight day this week. Kittle injured his groin last Monday and hasn't practiced or played since. The 28-year-old will almost certainly have to get back on the practice field on Friday in order to have any shot at making his 2022 regular season debut in Week 2 against the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. With Kittle out in the Week 1 loss to the Chicago Bears, Tyler Kroft saw 55 percent of the offensive snaps but caught just one of his two targets for a nine-yard gain. Ross Dwelley played just 27.9 percent of the team's 68 snaps. If Kittle misses his second straight game, fantasy managers should look to avoid the TE situation in San Fran.
Sep 15, 2022 • 10:05 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Misses Practice On Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) was sidelined in practice on Wednesday after missing Week 1 with a groin injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said "hopefully, we'll have better luck this week" in regards to Kittle's availability to play on Sunday. Fantasy managers should closely monitor practice reports on Thursday and Friday, as Kittle should have a shot to suit up if he becomes a limited or full participant. Still, it would be wise to have an alternative option prepared in case he is unable to play in Week 2's divisional showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.
Sep 14, 2022 • 10:35 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Hopeful To Practice On Wednesday
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) missed Sunday's game against the Bears. The team seemed optimistic that the 28-year-old would suit up, further evidenced by head coach Kyle Shanahan's comment about his availability, "that's why he made the trip." Although he did not play in Week 1, there is hope for a Week 2 return, beginning with practice on Wednesday. Shanahan again discussed his outlook, "I hope he's ready to go (practice) Wednesday, but we're not sure yet." The former All-Pro is a focal point of the 49ers' offense, contributing in all facets of the game. Fantasy managers are wise to have an alternative option for Kittle again in Week 2, with more information expected after practice on Wednesday.
Sep 13, 2022 • 12:30 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Officially Out For Week 1
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) has been officially ruled out for the Week 1 matchup against the Chicago Bears. He suffered a groin injury in practice and it sounds like it's going to cost him time. Hopefully, Kittle will be able to play next week, but that will be determined later in the week. For now, Tyler Kroft is expected to be the primary tight end in San Francisco. There won't be much streaming appeal here, so fantasy managers can look for a better streaming option.
Sep 11, 2022 • 3:57 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Not Expected To Play On Sunday
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is expected to miss the Week 1 opener versus the Bears. The veteran was hoping to be out there on Sunday, so he has been riding a questionable tag. However, the ailment is severe enough to keep him off the field. Nevertheless, the team has Charlie Woerner, Tyler Kroft, and Ross Dwelley on the depth chart. But it's anyone's guess who will benefit from the trio. With the Niners next hosting the Seahawks in Week 2, Kittle may be back, although managers should start planning for a replacement well in advance.
Sep 11, 2022 • 4:04 AM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Questionable For Week 1
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 1 season opener against the Chicago Bears. Kittle injured his calf on Monday and hasn't practiced since, so he's clearly trending towards either missing the game entirely or being limited to kick off the season. Fantasy managers who were planning on rolling with Kittle in Week 1 now need to have a backup plan in place. The good news is we'll know early Sunday whether the 28-year-old is active. But he's shaping up as a risky low-end TE1/high-end TE2 this weekend. It remains to be seen who will be the best pass-catching option at the position in San Francisco if Kittle doesn't play. The Niners have Ross Dwelley, Tyler Kroft and Charlie Woerner as options.
Sep 9, 2022 • 10:19 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Could Be Held Out In Week 1
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle's groin injury is "not good," and contingency plans are in place in case he's ruled out for Week 1 against the Chicago Bears, according to sources. One source characterized Kittle's injury as serious enough that it would be best for him to miss a game. The 28-year-old missed practice on Wednesday and should be considered very questionable or the season opener. Fantasy managers will need to have a backup plan in place, but the good news is the Niners play early on Sunday. If Kittle is active, he's a must-start in fantasy. We'll hopefully have a better idea of whether he can play later this week. If Kittle is forced to sit out, Tyler Kroft would serve as the top pass-catching tight end for the 49ers, while wideouts Deebo Samuel Brandon Aiyuk should be targeted heavily.
Sep 8, 2022 • 7:22 PM | RotoBallerGeorge Kittle Day-To-Day With Groin Issue
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) won't practice on Wednesday. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is calling it a day-to-day issue after Kittle did a little work on Monday. It puts Kittle's availability for Week 1's game against the Chicago Bears in question. It's not what Kittle's fantasy managers wanted to see entering the regular season, but it also doesn't sound like a very serious injury. If the 28-year-old is able to return to practice later this week, he should be able to suit up this Sunday in Chicago. As long as Kittle is active in Week 1, he should be in all starting fantasy lineups as a top-five player at his position. Stay tuned for updates on his status later this week.
