Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, Steve Buchanan and Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they think about this latest injury to George Kittle ($5,500).
The 49ers offense is injury-ravaged, but they should be getting a key piece of the offense back this week. Kittle, along with QB Brock Purdy ($6,100), is off the injury report for this Sunday’s game against the Patriots.
What can DFS and season-long fantasy managers expect in Kittle’s return? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke down the state of San Francisco’s offense on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Fresh off a monster performance against the Rams, Meghan still likes Jauan Jennings ($5,600) this week. Brandon Aiyuk’s ($6,400) early-season struggles should have Purdy keeping other receivers involved.
- Steve thinks recency bias could trick people into over-rostering Jennings. However, Aiyuk will have a softer matchup against Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who hasn’t looked the same this year.
- When playing in Cover 2, New England’s secondary has given up plenty of completions downfield.
