The San Francisco offense has lost Ricky Pearsall for the year and has Brandon Aiyuk uncertainty, with an aging Mike Evans and rookie Stribbling, so Kittle could see more consistent workload and centralized targets with CMC getting the lion's share; the source trusts Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy's ability to boost fantasy production for pass catchers.NegativeInjuryAug 29, 2026
