Green Bay Packers Fantasy Spin
Davante Adams (toe) wasn't listed on the Packers' final injury report. Adams trails only Tyreek Hill, Michael Thomas, Stefon Diggs and Amari Cooper in yards per route run this season (PFF). Aaron Rodgers' No. 1 WR has at least eight targets in five of his six games. Overall, only Robert Woods (71 targets) and Mike Williams (62) have more targets than Adams (57) without a receiving touchdown through 11 weeks. The likelihood of Adams being closer to full health after their Week 11 bye, the confirmation that he's been as efficient as ever on a per-route basis, along with the reality that the 49ers don't ask their CBs to travel with specific receivers means you can treat Adams as a top-five option at the position in this spot.
San Francisco 49ers Fantasy Spin
George Kittle (knee) is questionable for the 49ers' Week 12 matchup against the Packers. Ross Dwelley has posted 92% and 90% snap rates in two games with Kittle inactive. He hasn't cleared even 30 receiving yards in 21 career games, but obviously coach Kyle Shanahan trusts the undrafted second-year TE enough to feature him near the end zone. Treat Dwelley as a touchdown-dependent TE2 if Kittle remains sidelined. Obviously Kittle should be fired up as a high-end TE1 if active regardless of the matchup.
