Kittle led the 49ers across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon in which the team was down Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring), and in which Christian McCaffrey missed the entire second quarter due to a quadriceps injury. All three components of the veteran tight end's receiving line were also season-best figures, but Kittle's lost fumble at the Falcons' 19-yard line with 57 seconds remaining following a 22-yard catch snuffed out any hope of a comeback for the Niners. Despite the unsavory conclusion to Sunday's game, Kittle will remain a key target for Brock Purdy in a Week 9 home matchup against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 8, following a Week 8 bye.
There are simply few players who can create a positional advantage like he can on a week-to-week basis. As consistent as they come, McBride just continues to pile up stats and while touchdowns are wildly unpredictable (remember when McBride had just two in 2024), the floor on McBride still makes him elite. He's relatively untouchable in dynasty leagues at this point.
Njoku will be sidelined for at least the Chargers' next four games after sustaining a fibula injury in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders. Fellow tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm) was able to avoid placement on IR but has already been ruled out for the Chargers' Week 3 contest in Buffalo, leaving Oronde Gadsden as the top option on the depth chart heading into that game.
The veteran tight end was a key contributor throughout the night, finishing with team-high figures in receptions and targets while ending second in receiving yards. All three components of Henry's receiving line also were season-high figures, and he now has between 44 and 71 receiving yards in four consecutive games. Henry will take a 26-296-2 line on 31 targets into a Week 8 road matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.
