San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle missed the Week 3 contest against the Los Angeles Rams due to injury, and although he's played in the last two games, he's still banged up heading into Week 6. The 49ers are on a short week and play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6, so Kittle's chances to miss the NFC West clash could be enhanced, at least a bit.
The five-time Pro Bowler is a threat to finish as the weekly TE1 any time he steps on the field, so his status is clearly worth monitoring.
Is Kittle hurt or healthy, and will he play in Week 6? Let's dive into his latest injury update.

George Kittle Injury Update for Fantasy Football
George Kittle Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6
Heading into Week 6, Kittle is the TE1 in half-PPR fantasy points per game (13.0). He trails only Brock Bowers in total points, but he would likely be No. 1 in total points if he didn't miss Week 3. Over the last two weeks, he has hauled in 12 of his 16 targets for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, he's a must-start option at the scarce tight end position, even if he's slightly limited due to injury.
Too easy for @gkittle46 🙌

Given the struggles of the poison as a whole, he could reasonably finish as the overall TE1 in 2024. The Seahawks are a neutral matchup for tight ends, so his reign of excellence could continue this week.
