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 ($5,600).
The 49ers welcomed George Kittle back into action last Sunday against the Patriots, and he delivered. The San Francisco star put together four catches for 45 yards and a touchdown, good enough for 14.5 fantasy points (TE4). Despite his stellar performance vs. New England, the star tight end is questionable for this week’s matchup with the Cardinals due to a rib injury.
Will Kittle suit up in Week 5? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) broke down the state of the San Francisco offense on Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Kittle’s rib injury appears to be mild, so it’s more likely than not he plays on Sunday.
- The biggest loser from Kittle’s return is Jauan Jennings ($5,600). Brandon Aiyuk ($6,300) should turn things around this season with or without Kittle starting.
- Meghan pointed out that Brock Purdy ($6,200) targeted the slot heavily vs. New England (48% of pass attempts to the slot), which favors Jennings. However, there’s no guarantee a similar game script unfolds vs. Arizona.
