Eric Saubert

Kittle did not participate in pre-game warmups, leading us to conclude he was not close to playing this week. Backup TE Eric Saubert is reportedly ill and should not be considered as a streaming option, though he is active today. LT Trent Williams (ankle) went through an extensive pre-game workout and was seen somewhat favoring one leg but the training staff ultimately determined Williams is healthy enough to play. DE Nick Bosa (hip) is active. The 49ers also declared CB Charvarius Ward, DT Kevin Givens, WR Ronnie Bell, OL Ben Bartch and DT Khalil Davis.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) is inactive for today s game vs. the Seahawks. ESPN s Adam Schefter said this morning that Kittle will have a realistic chance to make it back for Week 12. His absence today leaves Eric Saubert as San Francisco s lead TE. He d be a desperation fantasy play. RB Christian McCaffrey and WRs Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall should pick up extra targets with Kittle out.

Hamstring injury 49ers TE George Kittle, who is questionable for Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, is unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks, per sources. The 49ers want to see how Kittle is feeling pregame before making any final decision, per sources. But they are not optimistic that their Pro-Bowl tight end will be available versus Seattle. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: Kittle missed practice Wednesday and was limited on Thursday and Friday before being listed Questionable on the injury report. TE Eric Saubert had 2 catches for 41 yards when Kittle missed Week 3 with a hamstring injury. He won't be a recommended fantasy option. McCaffrey, Deebo, Jennings and Pearsall should soak up most of Kittle's production.

Kittle got in a pair of limited practices before being listed as questionable for Week 11 on Friday. Per Schefter, the team is still going to have Kittle test out the hamstring issue in pre-game warmups before ruling him out, but fantasy managers should not count on having the TE1 overall this week. Schefter noted that this is not believed to be a long-term issue for Kittle. He previously missed Week 3 with a hamstring injury. Eric Saubert drew the start but only saw two targets. He caught both for 41 yards. Saubert is barely a TE2 for Week 11.
