The San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 18 matchup for a whole lot of marbles. The winner clinches the NFC West title and will be the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff bracket. The loser will be a wild card team, sitting in either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed.
The 49ers have been perpetually banged up this season, and it is no different heading into Week 18. However, they should get a key offensive weapon back for the game. Tight end George Kittle is expected back after missing a week with an ankle injury.
The 49ers-Seahawks matchup kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, which means we’ll learn about inactives at approximately 6:30 p.m.
George Kittle injury update
Fantasy football analysis
Kittle was putting together his best performance of the season before the injury in Week 16. He caught seven passes for a season high 115 yards and a touchdown. If you’re playing in a week 18 fantasy football championship, he’s worth sticking in your lineup. If you’re playing in DFS, the price might be a little high for what could be a tough matchup against a quality Seahawks defense. However, if the injury is your primary concern, it is no reason to avoid him.
