58°Availability
George Kittle was at practice on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle was limited in Tuesday's walkthrough. After being sidelined in Week 17, his status will need to continue to be monitored the next few days.
George Kittle (ankle) is officially inactive for the San Francisco 49ers against the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle will not suit up after testing the injured ankle during pregame warmups, leaving quarterback Brock Purdy with one his most reliable pass-catching options Sunday night. Jake Tonges will slide into the starting tight end spot for head coach Kyle Shanahan against the Bears Sunday night.
George Kittle (ankle), who was kept out of practice all week due to a sprained ankle, is "highly unlikely" to play on Sunday night against the Bears according to Adam Schefter.
Fantasy Impact
This would obviously be a big loss for both the 49ers, who are still in the hunt for the #1 overall seed in the NFC, and for fantasy owners battling for league championships. According to reports, Kittle may test his ankle out during warmups but is still unlikely to suit up as the Niners are expected to play it safe with their star tight end. For those in need of a replacement, Jake Tonges will likely start and he scored at least 11.8 PPR points in three of the five games Kittle missed earlier in the season. Tonges' biggest game came against the Rams on October 2 when he caught 7-of-11 targets for 41 yards and a score in San Francisco's OT victory.
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.
