George Kittle (ankle) listed questionable for week 17

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.

George Kittle (ankle) to likely be game-time decision for Week 17

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) DNP Wednesday, has chance to play Week 17

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.
