George Kittle Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught all four of his targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Kittle saw the team's second-highest target share at 17.6 percent behind Deebo Samuel, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned about his outlook moving forward. Kyle Shanahan ran 38 rushing plays versus 30 passing, meaning Kittle will likely require a pass-centric gameplan in order to hit return top-three value.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four of five targets for 78 yards during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. While he was held without a touchdown, it was good to see Kittle's involvement throughout the game, as he was second on the 49ers in targets (5) behind Deebo Samuel (12). Continue treating Kittle as a bonafide TE1, as it is highly likely he finds the end zone against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is in a great spot to show why he is one of the league's best on Sunday. Last year, the Detroit Lions gave up the third-most passing yards per game and the 15th most fantasy points per game to the tight end position. The 27-year-old has a realistic chance to be the top target in the passing game this week, which is a rarity at his position. The 49ers could come out with a run-heavy game plan in this contest, but Kittle should still see enough work to finish near the top of his position this week. He is an elite option at the TE slot and gives a clear advantage to fantasy owners if they are not facing Travis Kelce or Darren Waller.
