George Kittle Could Return To Practice This Week
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot), who was put on Injured Reserve on Nov. 5 with a broken bone in his foot, could return to practice this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. It's good news if Kittle returns to practice, but it won't guarantee that he returns from IR to play in Week 15 against the Cowboys. One of the true elite fantasy tight ends, fantasy managers would be ecstatic if Kittle were able to make it back for Week 16 if they are lucky enough to make it to the fantasy championship. But the Niners won't be rushing their star tight end back into action with their playoff hopes dwindling. Kittle is worth stashing in season-long formats, but fantasy managers shouldn't get their hopes up. With Deebo Samuel now out for the season, rookie first-round wideout Brandon Aiyuk will be the unquestioned No. 1 aerial target.
