The Wild-Card Round of the NFL playoffs were thrilling, showcasing intense finishes with the Rams facing the Panthers, and the Bears against the Packers, among other matchups. Unfortunately, George Kittle sustained a ruptured Achilles during the 49ers’ game against Philadelphia, raising concerns about his status for the next season. At 32, there’s uncertainty about whether he can regain his dominant form.

As we approach the new season, Kittle’s Fantasy value will be assessed based on his recovery, but he’s unlikely to be considered a starting player. Prospective drafters should consider taking Kittle late, particularly in leagues that allow for a stash on injured reserve if he’s not ready for Week 1.

Jake Tonges will take over Kittle’s role during the playoffs. In a prior game against Chicago, Tonges excelled with seven receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown. Overall, he’s in the final year of his contract and may need to be re-signed if the 49ers see him as a future starter.

Here’s a look at several players whose fantasy stock changed following the wildcard round.
