San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will not play in today's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to a hamstring injury. While ESPN's Adam Schefter suggests Kittle has a chance to return for Week 12, his absence will shift the offensive focus to other key players. Eric Saubert steps in as the lead tight end, but he is considered a desperation fantasy option. Meanwhile, running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receivers Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall are expected to see increased targets.
