San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was named the 2023 NFL Offensive Player of the Year on Thursday. McCaffrey is basically one of a kind in today's NFL. The 27-year-old not only helped lead the Niners to Super Bowl LVIII, but he was the most dynamic overall offensive player in 2023. He finished the regular season with a career-high 21 total touchdowns while totaling 2,023 yards from scrimmage in 16 games played. CMC had a league-high and career-high 1,459 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns on 272 attempts, adding 67 receptions (83 targets) for 564 receiving yards and seven TDs through the air. McCaffrey isn't without his injury risks, but when he manages to stay healthy, it's hard for any other RBs to even hold a candle to his fantasy upside.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) was limited in practice again on Thursday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan reported that Kittle will be good to go for Sunday in Super Bowl LVIII to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The 30-year-old suffered a minor toe injury in the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions and didn't practice at all last week. However, the Niners were just giving their Pro Bowl tight end some extra rest and he's going to be just fine to play in the Super Bowl this Sunday. He shouldn't have any limitations against a strong Chiefs defense, and fantasy managers are hoping he's more involved in the passing attack after going quiet for his standards in the last contest. Kittle could easily bounce back against KC after leading all tight ends in receiving yards in the regular season.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday after not practicing at all last week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he believes Kittle will be a full-go for Thursday's practice. The 30-year-old tight end suffered a minor toe injury in the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions and was considered day-to-day at the start of last week. He shouldn't be in danger at all of not being able to play in the Super Bowl this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kittle led all tight ends with just over 1,000 receiving yards during the regular season and could play a key role as the Niners look to overcome a strong Chiefs defense in Super Bowl LVIII. KC's defense was vulnerable to the position to close out the regular season, so Kittle could find some success for DFS gamers.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) missed a third straight day of practice this week on Friday but was not given an injury designation after the first week of preparation for Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 11. Kittle suffered a minor toe injury in the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions last Sunday and was considered day-to-day on Monday, but he told reporters he's not worried about his injury and he should return to the practice field next week. Even if the Super Bowl were being played this weekend, Kittle would likely play. The 30-year-old caught just two passes for 27 yards in the win over the Lions, but he led all tight ends with just over 1,000 yards during the regular season and had four catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round win over the Packers. Kittle could easily rebound in the Super Bowl against a Chiefs defense that was vulnerable to opposing TEs late in the season.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) sat out of a second straight practice on Thursday while dealing with a minor toe injury that he suffered in Sunday's NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle would be considered day-to-day for the first week of practice preparation for the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11, against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Niners are most likely just giving Kittle some extra rest this week. Even if he doesn't practice on Friday, he should return to the field next week and play in the Super Bowl. The 30-year-old disappointed in the NFC Championship, but he led all tight ends in yardage with 1,020 during the 2023 regular season and will be looking to bounce back against the Chiefs next weekend.
