  • Quiet in win

    Kittle caught three of five targets for 38 yards and carried the ball twice for zero yards in Sunday's 9-0 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Both passing games sputtered on a wet afternoon and muddy track, and Kittle's best chance of making a fantasy splash came when he got a carry on a jet sweep at the goal line, only for the tight end to slip when he tried to turn upfield. The 38 receiving yards were a season low for Kittle, and he'll look to rebound in Week 8 against a Panthers defense that's given up the eighth-fewest yards in the league to TEs.

  • Cleared to play Sunday

    Kittle (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Kittle played through the same injury last week, catching eight passes for 103 yards in a 20-7 win over the Rams. He'll now face a Washington defense that's given up the 10th-most receiving yards (337) to tight ends.

  • Listed as limited Thursday

    Kittle (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Moving on from Wednesday's DNP, Kittle has put himself on a path to suit up Week 7. Friday's injury report will disclose his potential availability for Sunday's contest at Washington, where he'll be looking to build upon his 8-103-0 line from a Week 6 win against the Rams.

  • Set to practice

    Kittle (groin) is slated to participate in Thursday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Thursday's injury report will reveal the extent of Kittle's participation, but even a limited showing would still put the tight end in a decent position for Sunday's game against the Redskins. Though he was termed as a game-time call with the groin issue heading into last weekend, Kittle suited up and finished with a season-high eight receptions for 103 yards in the 49ers' resounding win over the Rams.

  • Groin injury lingers

    Kittle was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Despite being a game-time call with the same health concern this past Sunday versus the Rams, Kittle was active and gathered in all eight passes directed his way for 103 yards. Wednesday's DNP may be a precautionary measure, but the tight end's situation still should be monitored closely as the weekend draws closer.

  • Not on practice field Wednesday

    Kittle (undisclosed) didn't take part in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Kittle popped up on the practice report last Friday as a limited participant due to a groin injury, inducing a questionable designation for a Week 6 matchup with the Rams. He proceeded to suit up and play 83 percent of the offensive snaps this past Sunday en route to his first 100-yard game of the season. Wednesday's report will reveal what's ailing Kittle as well as his activity level.

  • Records 103 receiving yards

    Kittle caught all eight of his targets for 103 yards during Sunday's 20-7 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Kittle led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while topping the 100-yard mark for the first time this season. His long gain of 45 yards was also his longest of the campaign and he's now somewhat quietly on pace to exceed 1,000 for the season after a slow start by his standards. Kittle still has just one touchdown to his name after five contests, but that could change in next Sunday's road matchup against a poor Redskins team.

  • Active in Week 6

    Kittle (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 6 tilt against the Rams, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This confirms early Sunday reports that Kittle would suit up in the big NFC West divisional clash. There are questions about whether the star tight end will be able to withstand a regular workload, with a combination of game flow and Kittle's own stamina set to serve as the ultimate determinant in that regard.

  • Likely to play, but stamina concern

    Kittle (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, is expected to play but there's some concern about whether he'll be able to finish the contest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Kittle was added to the injury report Friday with a groin issue and he may be a true game-time decision. Fantasy managers will want to check his status closely before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. EDT kickoff as a result. Even if he suits up, Kittle may not make for an optimal lineup option in DFS contests, given the concern that his snap count could be more limited than usual.

  • Dealing with groin injury

    Kittle was added to the injury report Friday with a groin issue, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kyle Shanahan expects the tight end to play, but unfortunate timing at the end of the week suggests it could come down to a game-time decision before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Should Kittle end up missing the divisional showdown, Ross Dwelley and Levine Toilolo would take on more snaps at tight end, while the team's wide receivers and running backs would be tasked with larger shares of the pass-catching workload. Kittle has accounted for 25 percent of the 49ers' targets this season,…read more

  • Scores first touchdown

    Kittle caught six of eight targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 31-3 win over the Browns. He also rushed once for 18 yards.

    Analysis: Kittle was quiet by his standards through San Francisco's first three games, but turned in his best performance thus far Monday. Along with leading the Niners across the board in receiving, he scored his first touchdown of the campaign on a 22-yard catch to start the third quarter. For good measure, he also added a first-down gain on the ground. On the back of that strong showing, Kittle will now look forward to facing a Rams defense he torched to the tune of 14 receptions for 247 yards and two…read more

  • Modest numbers in win

    Kittle caught six of eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: The catches, yards and targets led all San Francisco receivers on the day, but most of Kittle's production came in the first half, making his final line a little disappointing. Eight different Niners caught passes in this one, and while the tight end remains Jimmy Garoppolo's most consistent option, he's not yet coming close to last year's pace due to the extra competition for targets.

  • Reduced usage against Bengals

    Kittle pulled in all three of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Kittle saw his usage take a big hit in this one, as Jimmy Garoppolo looked to his wideouts and running backs for production in a blowout win. The 25-year-old still posted decent yardage, most of which came on a big 36-yard gain in which the tight end stiff armed through two defenders before being brought down. Kittle remains a high-upside tight end due to his tremendous athleticism, but if the rest of the 49ers' offensive units continue to click like they did Sunday, then they may not need to…read more

  • Busy day in opener

    Kittle brought in eight of 10 targets for 54 yards in the 49ers' 31-17 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The final line indicates Kittle failed to find the end zone, but he actually saw eight- and 22-yard touchdown receptions nullified by penalty in the first and second quarters, respectively. The third-year tight end also paced the 49ers in receptions, receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, validating the ample fantasy-related hype he was the subject of leading into the regular season. While Kittle's yardage total was relatively underwhelming, his line would naturally have looked…read more

  • Headed for smaller snap counts?

    General manger John Lynch suggested Kittle could play fewer snaps this season, Eric Branch of The San Francisco Chronicle reports. "A stated goal of ours this year was to have some people around (Kittle) such that we could take some off him," said Lynch. "George is a great player. And you can run into 'Let's have him out there every single play of the season.'"

    Analysis: Lynch made his comments in the context of the 49ers keeping four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster. Ross Dwelley, Levine Toilolo and Kaden Smith aren't serious threats to Kittle's target volume, but they might allow the team to take its superstar tight end off the field a bit more often. Kittle played 88 percent of the snaps on offense last season, including four games with a share above 95 percent in the final seven weeks. Any reduction in playing time won't be drastic, as NFL teams…read more

  • Back at practice

    Kittle (calf) returned to practice Monday, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Kittle sat two consecutive preseason tilts due to calf tightness but now appears back to full health. It's likely that the 49ers were simply taking a cautious approach to Kittle's recovery, given his status as the team's top receiving option. The third-year tight end is on track to suit up Week 1.

  • Logging another DNP

    Kittle isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game in Kansas City, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Kittle has been tending to calf tightness for the better part of the past two weeks, but with his return to practice Thursday, there was a sliver of hope he'd make his first appearance of exhibition season. Instead, the 49ers will exercise caution with the team's top pass catcher. After this decision, Kittle won't be in consideration for game action before Week 1, when the 49ers make a visit to Tampa Bay.

    Kittle (calf) returned to practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: It looked like Kittle might sit this one out, but he's back on the field after missing some time with calf tightness. For his part, the tight end noted Thursday that he has no doubt he'll be ready for Week 1 action. On the heels of an 88-catch, 1,377-yard effort last season, Kittle profiles as a top-flight fantasy TE, in an elite tier that also includes Travis Kelce and Zach Ertz.

    Kittle (calf) isn't expected to practice Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Initially deemed day-to-day with calf tightness, Kittle has been absent from practice for more than a week, also sitting out Monday's preseason win over the Broncos. There hasn't been any suggestion of his Week 1 availability being in danger, but he'll likely miss Saturday's exhibition matchup with the Rams.

    Kittle (calf) isn't slated to play in Monday's preseason game against the Broncos, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Kittle remains day-to-day with calf tightness, though the report notes that if this were the regular season, the tight end could play. Kittle's next chance to suit up for a game will arrive this coming Saturday against the Chiefs.

    Kittle is viewed as day-to-day with calf tightness, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kittle wasn't able to practice Tuesday, and his absence will extend at least another day. So far, there's been nothing to suggest that his calf issue is anything major, but it could impact his chances of suiting up for Monday's preseason game against the Broncos.

  • Not suiting up Saturday

    Kittle isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game versus the Cowboys, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury Newsn reports.

    Analysis: The vast majority of expected starters are taking a seat, Kittle among them. The approach is a prudent one after the tight end admitted to playing through injuries, including broken ribs, during his 2018 breakout and also dealing with a minor hip issue in the offseason. Kittle was equally successful with every 49ers quarterback last season, so he shouldn't miss a beat with Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) slated to be on the field Week 1 and beyond.

  • Healthy in camp

    Kittle has been a full participant in camp after recovering from a minor hip injury.

    Analysis: Kittle dealt with several injuries last season, and even admitted to playing through broken ribs during his incredible breakout campaign in 2018. After overcoming this minor hip injury, the 25-year-old appears to be healthy heading toward the regular season. To further ease fantasy owners' thoughts, Kittle was caught making a leaping 20-yard touchdown catch from Jimmy Garoppolo during Saturday's 11-on-11 practice.

    The injury that Kittle sustained in Week 9 of the 2018 season was described as fractured rib cartilage by Brian Witt of NBC Sports Bay Area.

    Analysis: It's an issue that came to light following the conclusion of the campaign, at which time Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com relayed that the tight end played most of the second half of the season with a cracked rib. Regardless of the exact injury terminology used, Kittle's 88-catch, 1,377-yard season looks even more impressive when considering the discomfort he worked through beyond Week 9. Following the retirement of Rob Gronkowski, Kittle approaches the coming season as one of fantasy's elite tight…read more

  • Dominates with cracked rib

    Kittle spent part of his record-breaking season playing with a cracked rib, an injury he initially suffered Week 9 against the Raiders, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers listed Kittle with a chest injury the following week, limiting him to non-contact work in practice before he posted a 9-83-0 receiving line against the Giants. He returned to full participation after a Week 11 bye and ultimately finished his second pro season with an NFL record for receiving yards (1,377) by a tight end. Kittle only scored five times on 88 catches, but his marks of 15.6 yards per catch and 10.1 per target were remarkable by positional standards. It's possible his best…read more

  • Sets TE receiving record

    Kittle caught nine of 14 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Rams and set an NFL single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end with 1,377 yards.

    Analysis: Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce broke the previous record earlier in the afternoon, but Kittle's 43-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter allowed him to exceed that mark. The 25-year-old was a breakout performer despite spending most of the season receiving passes from C.J. Beathard and Nick Mullens after Jimmy Garoppolo tore his ACL in Week 3. Kittle ended up with 88 receptions and five TDs on 136 targets, so he will undoubtedly enter 2019 as one of the top fantasy targets at tight…read more

  • Leads team in receiving

    Kittle caught seven passes for 74 yards in the 49ers' Week 16 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: With the 49ers trailing for much of the second half, they were forced to throw the ball frequently, resulting in Kittle leading the team with 12 targets. His performance could've been better, but when he was open for a potential touchdown in the end zone, a defender grabbed his arm, keeping him from securing the pass. Despite a number of difficult matchups, he's only been held to fewer than 50 yards once over his last nine games.

    Kittle caught three of eight targets for 51 receiving yards during Sunday's 26-23 overtime win against Seattle.

    Analysis: Kittle has blossomed in his second season out of Iowa, entering Sunday just 117 yards behind Travis Kelce for the league lead at the position. Seattle has excelled at defending tight ends all year -- ranking fourth-best in catches and receiving yards allowed. That trend persisted in Week 15, as Kittle was contained to his second-lowest receiving output since Oct. 15, and his fewest number of receptions since Week 2.

    Kittle brought in seven of nine targets for 210 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers' 20-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kittle enjoyed arguably the most spectacular half of football for any tight end in NFL history, and he became the first 49er at his position to ever reach the 1,000-yard mark on the season. Additionally, he fell just five yards short of eclipsing Shannon Sharpe's NFL single-game record for receiving yards by a tight end. The second-year pro notched an 85-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, putting his game-breaking speed on display downfield. The 25-year-old has seen no fewer than…read more

  • Makes six grabs in loss

    Kittle caught six of nine passing attempts for 70 yards in Sunday's 43-16 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Kittle tied for the team lead in targets but finished third in receiving yards in the contest, as Dante Pettis and Jeff Wilson both had big games. The Iowa product was also held out of the end zone for the third straight game, matching his longest drought of the year. Nevertheless, Kittle remains a top-tier tight end and will look to break that streak with a nice Week 14 matchup at home against Denver.

  • Downturn in production during loss

    Kittle brought in six of 12 targets for 48 yards in the 49ers' 27-9 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Kittle padded his line some in the second half, but his overall production had to be considered somewhat of a disappointment considering the 49ers were missing both Marquise Goodwin (personal) and Pierre Garcon (knee). The second-year tight end's reception total did lead the team on the afternoon, and it equaled his second-highest tally of the season. Kittle will look to up his numbers in a Week 13 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Catches nine passes in loss

    Kittle caught nine of 10 targets for 83 yards in Monday night's 27-23 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Kittle was clearly quarterback Nick Mullens' security blanket, hauling in just about everything thrown his way. In doing so, he led the Niners in all the major receiving categories, which has become a foregone conclusion over the course of this season. With at least 75 yards in seven (of 10) outings thus far, Kittle will now use San Francisco's bye to help his prior chest contusion heal before facing Tampa Bay in Week 12.

  • Avoids injury designation for Week 10

    Kittle (chest) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Kittle's status was never really in jeopardy despite him donning a non-contact jersey in every practice this week, as the 49ers have simply been trying to preserve the health of one of their few remaining consistent weapons in the passing game. The tight end has been one of the top fantasy options at his position this season, corralling 41 of 61 targets for 692 yards and three scores through nine games.

    Kittle (chest) wore a non-contact jersey for the third straight day at practice Saturday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Inman suggests Kittle is still expected to play Monday against the Giants despite donning the aforementioned apparel, but an official injury designation later in the day should provide some clarification on the tight end's status moving forward. Garrett Celek, who missed Thursday's practice due to non-injury related reasons, would stand to see a significant rise in snaps in the event Kittle misses any time.

    Kittle (chest) was a limited participant at Friday's practice, wearing a non-contact jersey for the second straight day, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Kittle reportedly is just dealing with a chest contusion, though it's apparently enough of an issue to impact his practice schedule on a long week following a Thursday game. He nonetheless seems to be on track for Monday's game against the Giants, even if he's once again limited when the Niners practice Saturday. Garrett Celek would be positioned for an expanded pass-catching role if Kittle were to suffer a setback before Monday.

    Kittle (chest) wore a blue non-contact jersey during his limited practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: A chest contusion is to blame for the cap on Kittle's practice reps this week, but the concern isn't expected to impact his availability for Monday's contest against the Giants. Assuming he ditches the designation prior to the game, he'll seek to build upon his 41-692-3 line from the first nine outings of the campaign.

    Analysis: Kittle displayed the same level of rapport with rookie Nick Mullens that he's often flashed with the 49ers' other quarterbacks, logging team highs in both receptions and receiving yards on the night. It was the 25-year-old's second 100-yard effort of the season, and he's brought in all three of his touchdowns over the last six games. Kittle is undeniably one of the 49ers air attack's most consistent and potent components, and he'll look to continue demonstrating as much versus the Giants in a…read more
