George Kittle

It's hard to go wrong with either Kelce or Kittle in your draft. Kelce's tied to a more dynamic offense, but Kittle could see regression to the means in terms of his touchdown production. The past two seasons, Kittle has finished with over 1,000 receiving yards, but never finished with more than 5 receiving TDs either year.
