BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: While it's fair to question George Kittle's consistency and the San Francisco 49ers' target share, there's little doubt that the eighth-year tight end should be on the field at all times. He should still be Brock Purdy's security blanket as well.
After week 7, Kittle averaged over 80 yards per game. He saw more targets, receptions, and a higher snap % down the stretch last year.
While being the 2nd most targeted player on the team last year with 90 targets, Kittle has plenty of opportunity to be the best tight end in the league on any given week.
Only tight ends with 7+ Yards After Catch Per Reception in 2023 (min. 30 catches) 💪

There is no threat of anyone taking snaps away from the elite tight end, as Kittle is considered one of the best all-around at his position
A Week 1 matchup against an elite Jets defense isn't one to avoid. Those who drafted Kittle in their leagues can feel comfortable rolling him out as their TE1 in the season opener.
