George Kittle Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught a 29-yard pass during a 23-7 Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. The 49ers star tight end only drew two targets with rookie quarterback Trey Lance making his second career start on Sunday, but he did add a six-yard carry on his lone rushing attempt. Kittle should remain a top-five tight end option against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, assuming quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is healthy enough to return from a thumb injury that sidelined him against the Texans. Kittle is matchup-proof but has better rapport with Garoppolo, raising his floor and ceiling in a big divisional showdown in Los Angeles next week if Jimmy G returns.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught two passes for 21 yards during a 20-17 Week 16 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 49ers' star tight end was only targeted three times on Thursday night, and one of those was an end-zone target that ended up being intercepted by Jackrabbit Jenkins. Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and even fullback Kyle Juszczyk saw more targets than Kittle, so expect him to deliver a monster performance in a bounce-back game at home against the Houston Texans in Week 17.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught six passes for 93 yards during a 31-13 Week 15 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The 49ers' star tight end continues to dominate as the lead receiver in the offense, racking up the most yards and receptions in a game that saw Jimmy Garoppolo attempt only 23 passes. Kittle cooled off a bit from his previous two-game stretch but remained Garoppolo's favorite target in the offense. He should produce another quality game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 16.
