Factoid: George Kittle
I got it in my head this season that George Kittle put up his best numbers in big games. He caught 3 TDs in an early-season showdown with Dallas (what seemed like a possible championship game preview, with the teams a combined 7-1), then was huge in the late-season "Super Bowl preview" loss to Baltimore (7 for 126). Is he a big-game guy? more »

Fantasy News: Thursday night recap
It’s a long season, but as of right now, the 49ers sure look like Super Bowl contenders. They might have the league’s best defense, and their offense is good enough that it didn’t miss Brandon Aiyuk at all on Thursday night. more »

Factoid: Dallas Goedert
The Eagles sure get Dallas Goedert downfield a bunch. He’s more mobile than a typical tight end, and they try to take advantage of that. more »

Around the NFL: Kittle and Aiyuk
Kyle Shanahan says he was told that Deebo Samuel (knee/ankle) would be out "three-ish" weeks. That's not a word, but we can reasonably conclude that Samuel will miss Week 15, 16 and probably 17, perhaps playing in Week 18 if it's meaningful (it probably won't be) or if they want him to get some reps in before a Week 19 playoff game. more »

49ers TE Kittle day-to-day with groin injury
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday that veteran tight end GEORGE KITTLE is day-to-day with a groin injury. The news of this issue comes as a surprise, but… More as fantasy owners are well aware, Kittle has struggled with injuries in recent seasons. Shanahan said he was “not sure” how severe Kittle’s injury was, but the veteran tight end’s status for the September 11th season opener against the Chicago Bears is now in doubt. Less

Factoid: George Kittle
I won’t be drafting George Kittle this year. I don’t like the injury history, and I don’t like the potential for that passing game to slip a notch (or two) with Trey Lance at the controls. I will concede, however, that Kittle is a heck of a player. more »

We're proofing the magazine this week, and just yesterday I was reading the tight ends section. "George Kittle is a huge injury risk," writes Ian. And hours later I saw the news item that Kittle will be shut down until training camp due to the nebulous "lower body injury." more »
