George Kittle News
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had his best game of the young season on Thursday night against the New York Giants. The colorful tight end out of Iowa grabbed seven of his nine targets for 90 yards, helping pick up the offensive slack with receiver Brandon Aiyuk sidelined by injury. While fantasy managers are still waiting for Kittle's first touchdown, it was good to see Kittle beat projections after duds in the first two weeks. Next up for Kittle's 49ers is a home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals where he'll remain a TE1.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been quiet so far in 2023, averaging four half-PPR points per game through two weeks. Against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2, Kittle caught all three of his targets for 30 yards. On Thursday night, the 49ers will host the New York Giants in their home opener. The Giants' defense, while getting beat up on the scoreboard through two weeks, has been middle-of-the-pack against tight end production. It's worth noting that Kittle is among those who may see an increased target share if Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) is ruled out before kickoff. Either way, it's only a matter of time before Kittle makes a splash for his fantasy managers. Lock him in as a mid-range TE1 in Week 3.
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle didn't find much involvement in his team's passing attack during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Rams in Los Angeles. He finished the afternoon with three receptions on as many targets for 30 yards. Of more use to head coach Kyle Shanahan than to his fantasy managers was Kittle's continued demonstration of his blocking skills in this one, springing both wide receiver Deebo Samuel for a touchdown and running back Christian McCaffrey on his 51-yard scamper. Through two weeks, Kittle has yet to beat fantasy projections but remains one of the few tight ends with a relatively safe floor. He'll look for his first touchdown of the year on Thursday night when the 49ers take on the New York Giants in their home opener.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is arguably the best all-around tight end in the game. He is deadly up the seam, catches everything, and runs with power and violence after the catch. He is also a tremendous blocker in the run game, which, unfortunately, is kryptonite for him in fantasy football. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is a wizard play-caller and runs an extremely run-heavy offense. The run game is an outside zone scheme that requires the blockers to move laterally in unison to...
