George Kittle Week 12 Outlook - Saints at 49ers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 24th 2022, 1:05pm EST

Last week Kittle crushed the ultimate matchup for tight ends, but this week won't be like that. Kittle will need every bit of his 19.4% target share (eighth) and 15.8% air yard share (eighth) to turn in a solid day. Kittle is seventh in yards per route run and sixth in YAC. The Saints are first in DVOA against tight ends, holding them to the lowest catch rate, eighth-lowest yards per reception, and only one receiving touchdown. Kittle is a TE1, but don't expect smash numbers this week.
