George Kittle is unlikely to play on Sunday Night Football.

That's the report from Sunday morning about the San Francisco 49ers' star tight end, who didn't practice all week.

That leaves fantasy football managers looking for last-minute replacements.

Luckily, there are a few good options.

Fantasy replacements for George Kittle

These three players are on rosters in 25% or fewer of Yahoo leagues.

Taysom Hill, Saints

Hill is the best option. With Alvin Kamara out, he could get double-digit touches.

Last week, Hill had 12 carries, caught 4-of-6 targets and threw a touchdown pass.

If Hill is available, he's your guy.

Colby Parkinson, Rams

Parkinson is the best choice of a guy playing after Kittle (the Rams play Monday night).

If you pick up Parkinson, you can wait for the official inactive report on Sunday night, and if Kittle is out, then you can put Parkinson in.

AJ Barner, Seahawks

Barner has six targets each of the last two weeks.

He's also the Seahawks' QB sneak player, which could come in handy if they happen to get to the 1-yard line.

Bonus options include Titans' Chig Okonkwo and Raiders' Michael Mayer.

Kittle's backup is Jake Tonges.
