TE George Kittle is "highly unlikely" to play against the Bears tonight, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Kittle will likely still test his ankle in pregame warm-ups, but he is unlikely to suit up. TE Jake Tonges will start in Kittle's place and had success replacing Kittle earlier in the season. If you are desperate for a TE, Tonges is worth a pick-up.

Adam Schefter of ESPN: "49ers TE George Kittle, listed as questionable for Sunday night due to a sprained ankle that prevented him from practicing last week, is “highly unlikely” to play vs. the Bears, per source."
