George Kittle - Held to one catch Sunday Kittle caught one of three targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Cowboys in the wild-card round. Impact The tight end continues to pay the price for Jimmy Garoppolo's thumb injury. With the quarterback's ability to throw impaired, the 49ers offense has been even more ground-heavy than usual, requiring Kittle to block more and run fewer routes. He hasn't reached 30 receiving yards in four straight games, managing only a 9-78-0 line on 15 targets over that stretch, and Kittle will likely need a touchdown to make a significant fantasy impact next weekend against the Packers in the divisional round.
