Availability
George Kittle caught 6-of-7 targets for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle took on a bigger role with Mike Evans (rib) exiting early. He hauled in two touchdowns from Brock Purdy in the win. He remains a strong TE1, especially if Evans misses time.
George Kittle secured all four of his targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
With his Achilles injury further behind him, Kittle's playmaking ability was on display Sunday. The veteran TE led the 49ers in receiving yards and had the longest gain of the day with a 40-yard pickup. Kittle also scored his first touchdown of the campaign on a 12-yard pass from Brock Purdy early in the third quarter. As long as he's healthy, Kittle is among the top TEs in the league.
George Kittle (Achilles) will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
As expected, Kittle carries no injury designation heading into the weekend and will be available to play against the Dolphins. It seems likely that he will continue to be limited in some capacity, though it looks like the 49ers are planning on ramping his workload up more and more each week moving forward.
George Kittle (Achilles) was limited at practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle was limited for another practice on Thursday, which should come as no surprise given that the team is trying to be cautious while he ramps his workload back up after suffering a devastating Achilles injury at the end of last season. He should return to a full workload sometime within the next few weeks if his recovery continues to progress well, at which point he will likely return to being a great fantasy asset for the remainder of the season.
George Kittle (Achilles) was limited at San Francisco's practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
San Francisco is still being careful with Kittle's workload at this point, so they left him as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday. He should be able to play on Sunday barring any unforeseen setbacks, however, and will likely continue to ramp up his workload over the next few weeks.
