SF TE George Kittle - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Seattle Seahawks

George Kittle had a great game against the Buccaneers last week, catching eight of his nine targets for 89 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight game with a touchdown, and he now has five on the year. Kittle is averaging 108 yards over his last four outings, and it’s good to see him clicking again with Brock Purdy. Last season, Kittle was the fantasy TE1 after Purdy took over the starting job.

This week, Kittle faces a Seattle defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. While it’s not the best matchup one can hope for, Kittle’s position in the offense and ability to explode in any given week make him a must-start for fantasy managers. We have him ranked as a top option once again.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

George Kittle caught three of his four targets last week in a lopsided victory over the Jaguars, gaining 116 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown catch and run. Kittle has double-digit half-PPR fantasy points in four straight games and seems to be getting back on page with Brock Purdy, with whom he developed a phenomenal rapport with a year ago.

This week, Kittle faces a Tampa Bay defense that ranks 10th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Despite the tough matchup, Kittle has enough talent and gets enough targets in the San Francisco passing game to warrant starting every week. We have him ranked just outside our top five tight ends for Week 11.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Jacksonville Jaguars

George Kittle didn’t find the end zone against the Bengals before the bye last week, but he still had a great game, finishing with nine catches on 11 targets for 149 yards. It was his first game over 100 yards this season, and it was good to see him pull together two consecutive games with at least seven targets.

This week, Kittle faces a Jacksonville defense that ranks 12th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle has been a bit inconsistent, but he’s still one of the best in the game on his best days. We have him ranked just outside our top five tight ends this week, and he should be active in all formats.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

George Kittle caught five of his seven targets last week against the Vikings, finishing with 78 yards - as well as a two-yard carry. Kittle has been very hit-or-miss this season, but when he’s on, he’s one of the most prolific fantasy tight ends in the game.

This week, Kittle has a fantastic matchup against the Bengals. The Cincinnati defense ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing tight ends and Kittle should have a field day. The 49ers may have struggled the last two weeks, but often that might lead to Kittle time, and he certainly seems to be getting more looks as the season progresses. Start him.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Minnesota Vikings

George Kittle was stifled completely by a tough Browns defense last week, catching just one of his two targets for a single, solitary yard. There will be better days for Kittle, as the entire 49ers offense struggled against a monster defensive front, especially after Christian McCaffrey went out with an oblique injury.

This week, Kittle faces a Minnesota defense that ranks 15th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle is one of the few players at the position with legit boom potential in any given week. He also has some additional upside with Deebo Samuel and McCaffrey hobbled. Kittle could see extra targets thrown his way, and he’s a must-start in all league formats.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Cleveland Browns

George Kittle exploded last week. He had three catches for 67 yards, with all three resulting in touchdowns! It was Kittle’s first time(s) in the end zone this season, but he showed the kind of explosive outing he’s capable of in this offense.

This week, Kittle faces a Browns defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Cleveland has been much better against wide receivers than tight ends, so it’s possible quarterback Brock Purdy leans on his star tight end again this week. We have him ranked just outside our top-five options this week, and fantasy managers should keep him active in all leagues.

SF TE George Kittle - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Dallas Cowboys

George Kittle was limited to just one catch for nine yards last week as the 49ers stomped on the Cardinals in a lopsided victory. Kittle only has one good fantasy outing out of four games this season after crushing with Brock Purdy at the end of 2022. You have to think he’ll turn around at some point, but there are an awful lot of talented targets to choose from in this offense.

Kittle has a tough matchup this week against the Cowboys, who rank second in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Kittle is still worth starting, given his talent at a position where there is always a dearth of viable fantasy options. Temper expectations for the veteran, however, as this could be a rock fight. We have him ranked just inside our top 10 tight end options this week.
