George Kittle

Seeing Kittle finish as the TE2 last week with nine receptions, 84 yards, and a score is what fantasy managers have been waiting for. Regardless of whether Brock Purdy comes back, Kittle seems to have found his chemistry with Mac Jones in his absence. Scoring a touchdown and finishing within the top 8 at the position in three of his four games this year is a sight for sore eyes. This week, he faces the Cardinals, whom he has historically found a lot of success against. In his only full game against them last year, he had 12 targets, eight receptions, 64 yards, and a touchdown. After dropping a divisional game to the Rams last week, the 49ers desperately need to avoid falling to another divisional rival this week. For anyone worried about Kittle, take a deep breath because he is back in the top TE discussion for the foreseeable future.

George Kittle caught 9-of-9 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the 49ers 42-26 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Kittle turned in his best performance of the season Sunday, logging new season highs in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. The score definitely helped Kittle receive more targets as the team was focused on passing to attempt to get back into the game. Kittle will look to build on this performance against the Cardinals in Week 11.
