San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) is the TE2 in full-PPR scoring so far this season, just behind Las Vegas Raiders superstar Brock Bowers. This is despite missing Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams, showing his value to both fantasy managers and his team.
He's still one of the best TEs in the league, which isn't surprising, considering he has five finishes in the top 5 among tight ends in fantasy football. He doesn't look like he's slowed down at all, and in the absence of target-hog RB Christian McCaffrey, Kittle has stepped up and delivered.
He's currently listed on the injury report, though. Will he play on Sunday?

Be sure to check back for updates. The final list of active and inactive players is required to be released by teams 90 minutes before kickoff time at the latest. You may need to wait until then to get official word.
George Kittle Fantasy Football Injury Impact
If he doesn't play, expect a lot more work for WRs Deebo Samuel and Ricky Pearsall. The 49ers don't have another tight on the roster that's made much of an impact, so it's likely the targets that would normally go to Kittle will be distributed among the remaining receivers.
If he does play, fantasy managers will be praying it's not in the decoy role. That's always possible, but it would be odd to see SF trot him out with an ailment of this nature. He was a decoy in the Super Bowl last season, but the shoulder injury he suffered from likely wasn't re-aggravated by blocking.
Last time the 49ers and Cowboys met on Sunday Night Football?

The last time he played the Cowboys, he absolutely torched them by catching three passes for 67 yards and three touchdowns on just four targets. You can't really sit him if he plays, so there's not much thought to put in there. Even if he's on a snap count, he can do major damage on a single play. He should be started if he plays.
