George Kittle did not play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams due to a hamstring issue. The team was also without Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel Sr., and despite their absence, the offense put up 24 points.
Unfortunately, the Rams were able to pull off a miracle and won the game 27-24. The 49ers are 1-2 heading into Week 4, where they will face the New England Patriots.
How serious is Kittle's injury? Will he play against the Patriots? Take a look at the 49ers tight end's status and fantasy outlook for the upcoming week.

Kittle could have the same impact in Week 4 as the 49ers will be determined to get a win after back-to-back losses. Purdy has played quite well so far this season and getting the ball to his star tight end will not be a problem. The premium tight ends in fantasy football have not performed so far, but the 49ers star could change that on Sunday.
