The 49ers placed TE George Kittle on Injured Reserve. Kittle will miss a minimum of 4 games.
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
Kittle will miss games at New Orleans, vs. Arizona, vs. Jacksonville, and at the Rams before he is eligible to return.
He hurt his hamstring in the second quarter of San Francisco's Week 1 win over the Seahawks and was quickly ruled out.
TEs Jake Tonges and Luke Farrell are next up for the 49ers but neither is a legit fantasy option.
San Francisco QB Brock Purdy is also dealing with shoulder and toe injuries, putting his Week 2 availability in doubt.
Kittle's absence will lead to even more targets for RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Ricky Pearsall.
WR Jauan Jennings avoided a serious shoulder injury and will also see an uptick in targets without Kittle -- assuming Jennings is good to go.
