George Kittle
TE - San Francisco 49ers - Questionable
Availability
49ers TE George Kittle is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle picked up an ankle injury during his season-best fantasy performance against the Colts on Monday Night Football, causing him to miss practice all week. If Kittle is active on Sunday, he’s a top-three tight end play.
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said George Kittle will likely be a game-time decision for Week 17 against the Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle has been unable to practice this week coming off an ankle sprain last Monday. Fantasy managers who want to wait on Kittle Sunday night could stash 49ers backup tight end Jake Tonges as insurance.
George Kittle (ankle) missed Thursday's practice session.
Fantasy Impact
After sustaining an ankle sprain in Monday night's game, Kittle has not been practicing this week. However, the star TE does seem to have a shot to play Sunday night. He could be a late call this week, so stay tuned.
George Kittle (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, but has a chance to play against Chicago according to HC Kyle Shanahan.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle sustained the injury against the Colts on Monday night, so returning from it on a short turnaround would be unlikely, but this is George Kittle we are talking about. Fantasy managers will need to closely monitor his status, but also be proactive and pick up Jake Tonges if he’s available on waivers as a back up option.
Jeremy Fowler has reported that George Kittle suffered a mid-to-low ankle sprain.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle suffered the injury in Monday's win over the Colts. His status for Week 17 is up in the air as a result. He'll need to be monitored in practice the next few days.
