49ers TE George Kittle will test his injured ankle before deciding whether he can play vs. the Bears tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "While most players don’t play if they don’t practice all week, Kittle is intent on testing it out to see if he’s got a shot," Rapoport adds. Fantasy managers are in a tough spot here, with 49ers inactives not due until a little before 7 pm ET tonight. If you're hoping to start Kittle, you need to have TE Jake Tonges rostered as insurance in case Kittle ends up inactive.
