The San Francisco 49ers will host the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE George Kittle.
Is George Kittle Playing in Week 12?
Kittle is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Kittle in Week 12?
Remember when he came back from injury and didn’t see a target for an entire Monday Night Football game?
That feels like forever ago now, as George Kittle has caught all 19 of his targets over the past three weeks and is a key cog in an offense that is back to being led by Brock Purdy, arguably the most efficient passer in our game.
I don’t love that his aDOT has dropped 29.2% and his YAC has somehow been more than chopped in half from last season, but this is an elite player in a system I trust at a position that is a pain.
Don’t overthink it: Kittle is a strong option the rest of the way and could swing your matchup in the final game of Week 12.
