George Kittle (knee) hasn’t practiced all week with ankle and knee injuries. Originally, we expected this to be minor, as he played through on TNF and had 10 days to rest. However, now he’s truly in doubt, and a backup plan must be acquired with the 49ers playing on MNF.
Ross Dwelley (1% owned) is Kittle’s direct backup. He played 70% of the snaps with Kittle dinged up last week, hauling in 4 catches in the process. Though a “Dwelley Lineup” feels gross, the Seahawks have bled the third most FPs to TEs. On the other side, Jacob Hollister (4%) is fresh off a 2-TD day, and seems to have taken over the invaluable Seahawks TE role. Ed Dickson also returns (and is alive?), so this could become a three-headed nightmare sooner than later, and the matchup isn’t great against the stifling 49ers. I’d lean Creature Dwelley.
