Fantasy Football Outlook: Will George Kittle Play Week 4?
George Kittle (hamstring) trending towards playing Sunday
George Kittle (hamstring) is trending towards playing in Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle is on the injury report because of a hamstring issue, but he seems to be trending towards playing in Sunday’s game. He told reporters that he’s ‘feeling fantastic’ and ‘very excited to play football’, which means that it is likely that he’ll be active against the Patriots. His return to the lineup would mean less work for Jauan Jennings moving forward, who had a huge performance in Week 3.

George Kittle (hamstring) ruled out for Week 3
George Kittle (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 3 by the San Francisco 49ers the team announced.
Fantasy Impact
Kittle will join fellow starters Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey out of the lineup ahead of the 49ers Week 3 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Brandon Aiyuk should see as many targets as the wideout can handle, with Jajuan Jennings seeing increased involvement in the passing game for head coach Kyle Shanahan Sunday. Eric Saubert will start at tight end against the Rams in Week 3.

What the Experts Are Saying
Likely out. Average = 2 weeks, so data slightly favors sitting Week 4 and returning Week 5.
– Dr. Deepak Chona, MD
Kittle managed a limited practice on Wednesday (hamstring). Considering he sustained the injury late last week, I doubt he will play in Week 4, but I’ll update his outlook on Friday.
