For the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in the first half of the San Francisco 49ers' Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks, George Kittle took the field last week and made a major impact in the Niners' 20-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
Now, it certainly wasn't the kind of performance that fantasy football managers who have him on the roster wanted to see, as the six-time Pro Bowler failed to record a single reception in his highly anticipated return.
Instead, his impact was felt in the running game, as Kittle, who has long been one of the best blocking tight ends in the NFL, created hole after hole after hole in helping the San Francisco rushing attack get back on track, with the 49ers gaining a season-high 174 yards on the ground, 129 of which came from Christian McCaffrey.
