George Kittle scores in 49ers’ win.

Kittle caught all three targets against the Jags, gaining 42 yards with the touchdown. The score came on a curl route right in the middle of the field at the goal line, and he turned and got up the field for a touchdown. Kittle is someone to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues.

Eli Manning tosses two interceptions as Giants fall to 2-13.

Manning was 27/45 for 263 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also lost a fumble and rushed once for five yards. Eli is set to start the season finale against the Redskins, but he might be pulled for rookie Davis Webb at some point, so he should stay out of fantasy lineups with a championship on the line. It will be interesting to see what Manning decides to do with offseason.

Kyle Juszczyk leads the 49ers in Week 16 receiving.

Juszczyk showed why the Niners paid him so much money as an offensive weapon in this one, catching five passes for 76 yards against the Jaguars. It’s risky to expect a similar performance next week, though, so keep Juszczyk out of your fantasy lineup.

Rod Smith operates as Zeke’s backup in Week 16 loss.

Smith rushed twice for 10 yards and caught three passes for 23 yards. The stat line is notable because he’s the only running back to receive a touch other than Elliott in his return, so it looks like Smith could have the inside track as the change-of-pace option in 2018. Unless Zeke is rested in a meaningless Week 17 game, Smith won’t be a recommended fantasy option.

Carlos Hyde scores against the Jaguars.

Hyde worked as a workhorse for the Niners, carrying 21 times for 54 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions for 19 yards. Hyde’s physical running style probably helped open things up for Matt Breida, who had a very good game himself (11 carries, 74 yards, TD). Hyde will be a solid option i the season finale next week.

Jason Witten caught five passes for 39 yards in Sunday’s loss to Seattle.

The veteran tight end was held in check like the rest of the passing attack, and it led to a 21-12 defeat. Dallas will look to avoid 8-8 next week against Philadelphia’s backups, but Witten won’t have much upside in the fantasy championship.

Matt Breida plays great in Niners’ win.

Breida carried 11 times for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars, gashing the defense while mixing in behind Carlos Hyde. Breida could get another good workload in Week 17 against the Rams, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.
