George Kittle Week 2 Outlook - 49ers at Vikings

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:16am EDT

George Kittle caught four of five targets for 40 yards in Week 1, finishing as the overall TE10 in Half-PPR scoring. Kittle's weekly volume tends to be a bit lower than other elite fantasy tight ends. But he makes up for it more often than not with extreme efficiency. Kittle averaged 11.3 yards per target last year. Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith were the only tight ends with 70 or more targets who averaged 11.3 yards per reception. That efficiency makes George Kittle a potential top-five fantasy tight end every time he steps onto the field.
