49ers John Lynch on KNBR:

George Kittle likely a game-time decision Sunday night on if he can rush back from MNF ankle injury to face Bears

Fred Warner excelling at his ankle rehab where 49ers re-examining a potential playoff comeback

Related Players: Jake Tonges

Fantasy Impact:

Phew, this is a rough one considering it's the final game of the Fantasy Championships. The safest play is likely to find a TE streamer you can plug in, but if you want to roll the dice with Kittle, make sure you have either Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, or Jake Tonges on your roster. We would rank them in viability in the order listed.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said "the soreness has dissipated" and said QB Josh Allen should play without any limitations vs. the Eagles. Allen has been dealing with a foot injury.

Fantasy Impact:

It's a tough matchup against this Eagles defense, but we would still expect Allen to use his legs when necessary, even with that lingering foot issue. Conisder him a top-10 option in the Fantasy Champtionship.

Fantasy Impact:

Ruckert will slide back into the "TE1" role, but that's more of a TE4 in fantasy. He can safely be kept on waiver wires.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is listed as doubtful for Saturday night’s game at Green Bay. If Jackson cannot play, Ravens QB Tyler Huntley would start.

Fantasy Impact:

A season of lingering injuries is culminating in bad timing for both fantasy players and the Baltimore Ravens alike. If Jackson is sidelined, Huntley can safely remain on waiver wires.
