George Kittle Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers George Kittle remains without a new contract. While some reports suggest that the 26-year-old could land a deal that would pay him around $17 million per year, Matt Barrows from the Athletic was the latest to chime in, with the reporter hinting that Kittle would instead receive $13 million per year. The 2017 fifth-round pick has been one of the most consistent producers for the team over the years and finished the 2019 regular season with 85 receptions for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns. Fantasy managers should prepare for him to be the first or second tight end selected in fantasy drafts for 2020.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is looking to receive a record-setting deal, according to his agent, Jack Bechta. The rumored $17 million per year could put the 26-year-old on track with some of the league's top wideouts moving ahead. According to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, this is justified since Kittle is "asked to run the routes, produce like a top wide receiver while also playing the position in the run game like an offensive lineman." Kittle certainly has the stats to back up his monetary demands, finishing 2019 with 85 catches for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns while also finishing second overall in PPR formats at his position.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle could receive a new deal that may "destroy" the market for his position moving ahead, at least according to NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah. With a rumored annual salary of around $20 million per year for Kittle, the door could potentially be open for others to raise their own asking price, much like the current running back market after Christian McCaffrey inked a new deal with the Panthers this offseason. The 26-year-old is worth every penny as he finished the 2019 campaign with 85 catches for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns while also ranking ninth in the league in receptions per game with 6.1. He is expected to be the first or second tight end off the board in fantasy drafts for the 2020 season, so fantasy managers should plan accordingly.
