George Kittle Faces Tough Matchup In Divisional Round
2 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has a tough matchup in the Divisional Round against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys allowed the sixth-fewest yards and third-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in the regular season. Niners QB Brock Purdy will face his toughest test, an intense defense that ranked third in sacks. If Purdy is under pressure, it could positively and negatively affect Kittle's production. The San Francisco offense will likely have more trouble moving the ball than they did against Seattle. But Kittle might be a bigger part of the offense. When Purdy was under pressure against the Commanders, he targeted Kittle eight times, and Kittle caught six passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns. There might be tight ends with better matchups available at better values this weekend, but Kittle has enough talent he is a viable option.
