George Kittle caught 8-of-10 passes for 88 yards in the 49ers’ Week 7 loss to the Falcons. 2026-10-25 17:00:02 Unfortunately, Kittle also lost a fumble on the team’s final drive of the game as he was trying to earn extra yardage and set the team up for a better shot at the end zone. Even with that mistake, Kittle was tremendous on the day and the clear top option in the passing attack. The 49ers will be on a bye in Week 8, and then some of their injured receiving corps should return in Week 9, which might impact Kittle’s usage a bit. He will remain a rock-solid TE1 in fantasy leagues though. |

George Kittle caught 5-of-8 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 6 win over the Commanders. 2026-10-20 01:00:01 Kittle got the scoring started with an 11-yard touchdown on a dime from Brock Purdy to the corner of the end zone, contributing to the offense steadily through a dominant first half before pushing his yardage totals with a 35-yard reception to start the third quarter. It was a tale of two halves for the San Francisco offense, who managed a staggering 303 yards of total offense in the first half and only 73 yards of total offense after the break, likely heavily influenced by the departure of Mike Evans at the end of the second quarter. Evens is expected to miss the team’s Week 8 contest against the Falcons, where Kittle could step into addition volume in his already-solid TE1 profile. |

George Kittle caught 5-of-6 targets for 24 yards in the 49ers’ Week 5 win over the Seahawks. 2026-10-11 22:00:02 After three straight big weeks, Kittle finally came back down to earth in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks. His longest reception came on a 13-yard gain in the third quarter, but proved inconsequential after Deebo Samuel lost a fumble on the following play to end the drive. Kittle has been targeted 19 times over the last three weeks and has gone for 70-plus yards in three of his last four games. He should be primed for a bounce-back next week when the Niners play host to the Commanders on Monday night. |

George Kittle (illness) is active for Week 5 against the Seahawks. 2026-10-11 16:00:02 It was reported earlier on Sunday that Kittle was dealing with an illness, but that he was still expecting to play. Kittle was not listed with the 49ers’ inactives when the team announced them 90 minutes before kickoff, meaning he is good to go and can be treated as a TE1 as usual. |

George Kittle caught 4-of-6 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers’ Week 4 win against the Broncos. 2026-10-04 20:00:02 It was a quiet day for Kittle before a fourth quarter screen pass went for a 58-yard score that sealed the game for the Niners. Displaying explosiveness less than a year after tearing his Achilles tendon, Kittle outran the Broncos secondary for his second touchdown in as many weeks. His six looks from Brock Purdy was second most among Niners pass catcher, trailing only Mike Evans (eight targets). Kittle’s big play upside and his role in the red zone make him a potential matchup flipper in fantasy. He gets the Seahawks in Week 5. |
