Check out the latest fantasy football and NFL injury updates from around the league.

Fantasy Impact: Kittle suffered an Achilles tear during last year’s postseason, leaving uncertainty about his status entering 2026. However, he appears to be making excellent progress in his recovery, leading San Francisco to believe he will suit up for Week 1. Kittle has been drafted as a low-end TE1 throughout the summer, but could see a rise in ADP with this news.

Fantasy Impact: Stapleton notes that Nabers “looked to be opening up during his rehab work early and then with the training staff on opposite field as team drills went on.” He was able to participate in position drills with the quarterbacks again as he continues to make progress.

Fantasy Impact: This is certainly not great news for fantasy managers who are relying on McCaffrey, and for 49ers fans who have already seen plenty of their stars go down. Of course, no reporting has said McCaffrey is missing any more time, but the fact that he’s already experiencing some muscle tightness is concerning.

Fantasy Impact: There’s little information to follow after that. There could be an injury, but if it is, it’s not readily apparent, which is a good thing. It’s possible it was just cramps. So fantasy managers need to stay level headed while details are sparse, and wait for more info to make any sort of decisive action.
