Report: 49ers nearing long-term deal with TE George Kittle

The 49ers are reportedly making "healthy progress" in finalizing a long-term contract extension for star TE George Kittle.

Fantasy Impact:

Bolder reports suggest that Kittle and the 49ers have already agreed to the framework of a six-year extension to be announced on Friday. Kittle's extension should come as no surprise as the Iowa product has blossomed into one of the premier players in all of the NFL over his first three seasons in the league. Kittle combines excellent pass-catching ability with otherworldly blocking in the run game, making him an irreplaceable piece of Kyle Shanahan's diverse offensive scheme. Kittle is an elite TE1 for fantasy purposes and can be drafted in the second round.

The 49ers are bringing free agent WR Tavon Austin in for a workout and hope to sign him to a contract.

Fantasy Impact:

Austin has been an inefficient player during his career but the 49ers are desperate for speed after losing WR Deebo Samuel to injury. If Austin does end up signing in San Francisco, he will compete with Jalen Hurd, Trent Taylor and rookie Brandon Aiyuk for targets behind elite TE George Kittle. None of the 49er pass catchers outside of Kittle profile as a consistent fantasy starter.

Fantasy Impact:

Hilton was on the NFI list due to a minor hamstring issue. Now that he is active he can begin practicing with the team and developing a rapport with new QB Philip Rivers. The pair's chemistry will be crucial as Hilton looks to bounce back from a disappointing 2019 season.
