Outlook George Kittle

George Kittle vs. Arizona — Primed for Heavy Involvement in Favorable Home Matchup

After being eased back initially following his offseason Achilles recovery, Kittle looked completely like himself last game, hauling in four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. Back to operating as the clear lead tight end in Kyle Shanahan’s passing attack, his health concerns appear behind him as fantasy start rates have climbed back up to 76%.

Facing an Arizona defense in a game with strong scoring expectations, Kittle provides reliable high-end tight end utility. Our models project him for around 4 receptions, 55 receiving yards, and 13.7 fantasy points. With wide receiver Demarcus Robinson sidelined, Kittle should maintain a concentrated target share, making fantasy managers confident starting him.
