George Kittle Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is an easy TE1 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite a sluggish performance by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and two touchdowns negated by penalty in Week 1, Kittle posted a respectable eight catches for 54 yards. With his floor solidified, Kittle should remain the top passing option after leading the team in targets, grabs and yards by a significant margin. With the wide receiving corps extremely unproven and the offense expected for a better showing, Kittle has an excellent chance to outperform his stat line from last week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught eight of 10 targets for 54 yards in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kittle had two touchdowns negated by penalty, which led to a decent-but-not-spectacular showing for the third-year fantasy stud. Even with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggling, Kittle posted a usable line and significantly outpaced all other pass catchers in receptions, yards and targets. With the bankable floor, Kittle will stay an obvious TE1 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is a locked-in TE1 in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No surprises this year, as Kittle enters the year a top-3 option after exploding for 1,377 receiving yards last season and leading the Niners in every significant passing category. Kittle is rewarded with a favorable opening matchup, facing a Bucs defense that was bottom-five in defending tight ends last season. The key risk is the performance of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who is returning from a torn ACL. Regardless, with the combination of high volume and big-play upside, Kittle should be a bankable fantasy stud all season.
