San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) is expected to play in Week 18, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Jake Tonges filled in admirably last week with Kittle missing Week 17. It sounds like Kittle will be ready to go against the Seahawks in Week 18. If Kittle plays Saturday night, he's a TE1 for Fantasy GMs in Week 18 championship games. |

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers LB Fred Warner (ankle) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a dislocated and fractured ankle, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. However, a return to the field during the postseason appears unlikely, unless the team reaches the NFC Championship Game or Super Bowl LX, according to multiple sources. Any potential playoff appearance would probably be in spot duty, since an early return could put Warner at risk of further injury.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) will be a game-time decision for the Week 17 game against the Chicago Bears.
| Footballguys view: With a Sunday night kickoff, fantasy managers without a formidable TE2 should pick up Jake Tonges, Colston Loveland, or Colby Parkinson as potential pivot options in case Kittle can't go. The 49ers are fighting for the NFC's top seed, so they'd like to have Kittle available. Fantasy managers with a strong TE2 playing earlier may prefer to take the guaranteed points rather than waiting until Sunday night. |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, Dec. 24. Head coach Kyle Shanahan did not rule out the chance of Kittle playing in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: San Francisco can get the No. 1 seed in the NFC bracket and a bye to open the playoffs with wins in their final two contests. That means Kittle may deal with the ankle injury, then get a week off during the Wild Card round. Jake Tonges will start if Kittle can't play against the Bears on Sunday night. |

The 49ers have gotten some positive news on tight end George Kittle. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Kittle suffered a mid-to-low ankle sprain during Monday night's victory over the Colts.
| Footballguys view: That means he should not be out long-term with the injury if he misses any time at all. Kittle told reporters postgame that he didn't believe he had suffered a high-ankle sprain in the second quarter. Kittle also felt like the play was a hip-drop tackle. Kittle finished the Week 16 win with seven catches for 115 yards with a touchdown. In 10 games this season, Kittle has caught 52 passes for 599 yards with seven TDs. We'll be watching for more in advance of Sunday night's game against the Bears. |
