The San Francisco 49ers will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding TE George Kittle.
Is George Kittle Playing in Week 11?
George Kittle emerged from Sunday’s win with a hamstring injury and did not practice on Wednesday. However, the word was that he was expected to practice Thursday, and the tight end followed through with a limited session.
Kyle Shanahan suggested that Kittle is not dealing with a significant injury. As long as he can participate again on Friday, Kittle should be ready to face the Seahawks in Week 11.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit George Kittle in Week 11?
That’s now seven straight games with at least 14 PPR points for Kittle, tying him for the longest streak by a tight end since the start of 2012 (Travis Kelce owns the two longest streaks over that stretch).
Last week, he got there with a picturesque 11-yard score in the back of the end zone, showcasing nice finesse to complement the physicality that we see from him weekly. Kittle has a catch of at least 29 yards in four straight and figures to remain heavily involved as this offense adjusts to life without Brandon Aiyuk.
I was encouraged to see his valuable usage remain intact despite Christian McCaffrey making his season debut (at least one end-zone target in five of his past six games, multiple such looks in three of his past five), and he remains my top-ranked player at the position for the remainder of the 2024 season.
