Scouting report

SF TE George Kittle - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Las Vegas Raiders

Brock Purdy has been very good for George Kittle. He has two touchdowns in each of his last two games, and he finished last week’s contest against the Commanders with six catches for 120 yards. He’s been inconsistent throughout the season, but with a new quarterback, anything is possible.

This week, Kittle faces a Raiders defense that ranks 10th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Despite the matchup, he’s a must-start. The tight end position is a barren wasteland of risk and inconsistency, and Kittle’s production lately separates him from the pack. Start him.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Washington Commanders

George Kittle had a great game against the Seahawks last week, catching four of his five targets for 93 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Kittle has been volatile as a fantasy producer, but he’s capable of those kinds of numbers in any given week. It’s a good sign that he has five targets in each of Brock Purdy’s full games as the starter.

This week, Kittle has a tough matchup against Washington. The Commanders rank eighth in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle is always a risk to disappoint, but with only one really steady tight end option in fantasy (Travis Kelce), you take the risk and fly with Kittle’s upside. We have him ranked inside our top five tight ends once again and he should be active in all leagues.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Seattle Seahawks

George Kittle was limited to just 28 yards last week, but he had four catches on five targets. It was good to see the volume, especially since the 49ers ran away with the victory and only threw the ball 23 times.

Kittle has a great matchup this week. The Seahawks have a budding young secondary, but they’ve been awful against tight ends this season, ranking 31st in the league in aFPA to the position. Kittle has been inconsistent, but inconsistent with big boom potential is still better than the vast majority of the tight ends available in fantasy. Start him.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

George Kittle caught two of his three targets last week for 22 yards. It was his second straight dud of a fantasy week, and third over his last four. Now, he has a new quarterback in rookie Brock Purdy with Jimmy Garoppolo out for the rest of the season with a foot injury. Kittle is super talented and worth starting based on weekly upside, but his inconsistency has been troubling for fantasy managers. It’s only the massive dearth of options at the position that keep him ranking in elite territory.

Kittle has a nice matchup against the Buccaneers this week. Tampa Bay ranks 23rd in aFPA to opposing tight ends this season and Kittle should be able to take advantage. Kittle has been inconsistent, so it’s risky to assume he’ll produce, but he’s still one of the best options available at the position. Start him.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Miami Dolphins

George Kittle was held to just 2 yards on three catches last week against the Saints, as the 49ers won a low-scoring matchup in a defensive battle. Kittle has been woefully inconsistent as a fantasy performer this season, but he’s still one of the best at the position and has four touchdowns over his past five games.

Kittle has a great matchup this week against a Miami defense that ranks 29th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Start Kittle as a top-five tight end this week, and hope he can get back into the end zone after a quiet game against the Saints.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New Orleans Saints

George Kittle had a great games against the Cardinals last week, catching four of his six targets for 84 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Kittle has been inconsistent in his production this season, but he’s still one of the best players in the game at his position and has the potential to put up big numbers in any given week. He has four touchdowns over his past four starts and the San Francisco offense has been humming since acquiring Christian McCaffrey.

Kittle has a tough matchup this week against New Orleans. The Saints rank second in aFPA to opposing tight ends. He’s a must-start at a very thin fantasy position given his upside and role in the offense, despite the difficult opponent. We have him ranked as a top-five tight end for Week 12.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Arizona Cardinals

George Kittle struggled last week against the Chargers, catching one of just two targets for 21 yards. Kittle preceded that game with three straight games of double-digit half-PPR points, however, so fantasy managers shouldn’t be too concerned.

This week, Kittle should rebound in a great matchup against the Cardinals. Only the Lions and the Seahawks rank lower in aFPA to opposing tight ends this season, and we expect Kittle to put up top-five numbers. Start him.
