George Kittle Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught three passes for 32 yards in the Niners' 7-31 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game. The 29-year-old also took one carry for four yards. The Niners' passing game was impacted by injuries to both quarterbacks Brock Purdy (elbow) and Josh Johnson (concussion protocol). San Francisco only threw the ball 18 times all game, and Purdy only made two passes in the second half after Johnson left the game in the third quarter. Kittle will be one of the top tight ends taken in 2023 fantasy drafts.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle could be a focal point of the Niners' passing game in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles. In the Divisional Round, the 29-year-old was involved in 26% of the 49ers' completions and 44% of the passing yards. The Eagles are also an incredibly formidable defense, and Niners QB Brock Purdy likes to lean on his tight end. The Eagles have allowed the fewest passing yards this season, but they have allowed the 19th-most receiving yards to tight ends, showing a disproportionate amount of the yards (26%) go to tight ends. Even in a tough matchup, Kittle can be relied upon.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught five passes for 95 yards in the Niners' 19-12 Divisional Round victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old led all 49ers in scrimmage yards and helped set up San Francisco's only touchdown when, in the third quarter, he grabbed a pass that bounced off his outstretched arm and off his face mask before coming down with it for 30 yards across the middle. Through two games, Kittle is leading all tight ends in yardage this postseason. He goes to Philadelphia to face the Eagles next week in the NFC Championship Game.
