Fantasy Football Player Notes

Kittle is the TE5 in fantasy points per game while ranking first in deep targets and eighth in red zone targets among tight ends. Kittle has been quiet the last two weeks, with less than 11 fantasy points in each game. This would be a nice spot for him to erupt, but it isn't easy to forecast this week with so many other 49ers in advantageous spots. Since Week 9, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (82.2%). In the eight games that Aiyuk, Samuel, and George Kittle have been full-time players, Kittle has had a 17.9% target share, 2.10 YPRR, and an 18.1% first-read share against zone. Seattle has allowed the 10th-most receiving yards per game to tight ends, but they have also held the position to the fifth-fewest receiving touchdowns per game. I expect Kittle to take a backseat this week. Week 14 Positional Value: TE1
