Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Mark Andrews

Tuesday, December 2, 4:36 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle led the team with 67 receiving yards in their 26-8 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Kittle had five targets and tied for the team high with four catches on a day when quarterback Brock Purdy completed just 16 passes. Almost half of his yardage came on San Francisco's last snap of the first half, when Purdy hit Kittle on a 33-yard bomb that set up a chip-shot field goal for Matt Gay before halftime. Kittle finished outside of top-12 territory for the first time since Week 9, but is working on a four-game streak with at least four catches and 67 receiving yards. The 49ers are on bye in Week 14, but will see favorable matchups in the fantasy football playoffs with games against the Titans, Colts, and Bears.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (glute) was added to the Week 15 injury report on Thursday with a glute injury and put in a limited practice. Andrews upgraded to a full practice on Friday, though, and has been cleared to play on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. The 30-year-old has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Lamar Jackson, putting him on the low-end TE1 map in fantasy football most weeks, but he's caught exactly one pass for nine yards in two of the last three weeks. Isaiah Likely has become more involved in the passing game in recent weeks, too, which has made Andrews more volatile for fantasy managers. Additionally, Andrews has not scored in the last four games and has only gone over 50 receiving yards once in 2025, back on Sept. 22, when he had 91 yards and two touchdowns. The good news this week is that he'll be facing a Bengals defense that has allowed TEs to run wild this year. Andrews caught four of six targets for 47 yards in the last meeting against Cincy on Thanksgiving night.
