SF TE George Kittle - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Jacksonville Jaguars

George Kittle didn’t find the end zone against the Bengals before the bye last week, but he still had a great game, finishing with nine catches on 11 targets for 149 yards. It was his first game over 100 yards this season, and it was good to see him pull together two consecutive games with at least seven targets.

This week, Kittle faces a Jacksonville defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle has been a bit inconsistent, but he’s still one of the best in the game on his best days. We have him ranked just outside our top five tight ends this week, and he should be active in all formats.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

George Kittle caught five of his seven targets last week against the Vikings, finishing with 78 yards - as well as a two-yard carry. Kittle has been very hit-or-miss this season, but when he’s on, he’s one of the most prolific fantasy tight ends in the game.

This week, Kittle has a fantastic matchup against the Bengals. The Cincinnati defense ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing tight ends and Kittle should have a field day. The 49ers may have struggled the last two weeks, but often that might lead to Kittle time, and he certainly seems to be getting more looks as the season progresses. Start him.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Minnesota Vikings

George Kittle was stifled completely by a tough Browns defense last week, catching just one of his two targets for a single, solitary yard. There will be better days for Kittle, as the entire 49ers offense struggled against a monster defensive front, especially after Christian McCaffrey went out with an oblique injury.

This week, Kittle faces a Minnesota defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle is one of the few players at the position with legit boom potential in any given week. He also has some additional upside with Deebo Samuel and McCaffrey hobbled. Kittle could see extra targets thrown his way, and he’s a must-start in all league formats.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Cleveland Browns

George Kittle exploded last week. He had three catches for 67 yards, with all three resulting in touchdowns! It was Kittle’s first time(s) in the end zone this season, but he showed the kind of explosive outing he’s capable of in this offense.

This week, Kittle faces a Browns defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Cleveland has been much better against wide receivers than tight ends, so it’s possible quarterback Brock Purdy leans on his star tight end again this week. We have him ranked just outside our top-five options this week, and fantasy managers should keep him active in all leagues.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Dallas Cowboys

George Kittle was limited to just one catch for nine yards last week as the 49ers stomped on the Cardinals in a lopsided victory. Kittle only has one good fantasy outing out of four games this season after crushing with Brock Purdy at the end of 2022. You have to think he’ll turn around at some point, but there are an awful lot of talented targets to choose from in this offense.

Kittle has a tough matchup this week against the Cowboys, who rank second in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle is still worth starting, given his talent at a position where there is always a dearth of viable fantasy options. Temper expectations for the veteran, however, as this could be a rock fight. We have him ranked just inside our top 10 tight end options this week.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Arizona Cardinals

George Kittle had a nice game against the Giants last week, catching seven of his nine targets for 90 yards. He still has yet to find the end zone this season, but it was good to see him approaching double-digit targets after nine total in his first two games. Kittle remains a heavy part of this offense and one of the more explosive players at his position.

This week, Kittle faces a Cardinals defense that ranks 16th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Regardless of matchup, however, Kittle is a must-start in all formats based on his usage at a position with very few consistently reliable options. We have Kittle ranked as an elite fantasy option this week. Start him.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. New York Giants

George Kittle hasn’t put up much in the way of fantasy points through two games this season, but it’s good to see him healthy. He’s had three catches in each game, with a grand total of just 49 yards on the season. Still, the late-season rapport he developed with Brock Purdy in 2022 should prove fruitful sooner or later, so fantasy managers shouldn’t panic just yet.

This week, Kittle has a nice matchup against the Giants, who are struggling on both sides of the ball. They allowed 88 yards and eight receptions to the tight end position a week ago. Tight ends are tough to find with consistency in the fantasy realm, so keep starting Kittle as a top-10 option, given his usage. While he had only three targets last week, he had six in Week 1.

Update: With Brandon Aiyuk not expected to play, Kittle should benefit with additional looks.
