Fantasy Impact:

“I’m holding out hope for ... the last couple of weeks. They’re just starting to get into where they get on the field and not with us but on their own to do some stuff,” Shanahan elaborated, referring to both Kittle and Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle). It sounds as if there's a chance Kittle could be back for Week 16, which is also a popular championship weekend for fantasy football leagues. Kittle is worth holding onto if fantasy managers are able to, but things could understandably get tight in the coming weeks.
