George Kittle is not expected to play vs. the Bears on Sunday due to the groin injury he suffered in practice Monday, according to a report from Erich Branch from the San Francisco Chronicle. (Eric Branch on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Kittle has been trending in the wrong direction for most of the week after reportedly injuring his groin during a practice on Monday, and fantasy managers should have him on their bench this week even if he does end up being active. With Kittle out, Charlie Woerner, Tyler Kroft and Ross Dwelley could all see increased roles, but none is worth starting outside of deeper formats. Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel could see additional targets from second-year QB Trey Lance with Kittle out.
