START ‘EM

Matt Breida and George Kittle are probably the only two members of the 49ers that fantasy footballers can depend on week to week. Kittle has come from nowhere this season, but he’s emerged as one of the best tight end options in the league, behind the obvious guys.

Kittle has had at least four receptions in every game but one this season and continues to be an easy starting option in fantasy football. The only reason to be skeptical of him this week is if C.J. Beathard doesn’t play due to a wrist injury.

Beathard and Kittle have had good chemistry, so if the 49ers signal caller is good to go, Kittle is a great option. Even with a third stringer in at quarterback, keep Kittle in at tight end. He’s proven he’s the best receiving weapon in San Francisco.
