George Kittle In TE1 Conversation For Week 16
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has finished in the top six at his position in four of his team's last five games. Volume has played a significant role in Kittle's recent success, finishing first or second on the team in targets in each of those same five games. During the stretch, Kittle has ranked third among tight ends in targets per game (7.8) and second in receiving yards per game (76.8). The 49ers take on the Colts on Monday night in Week 16, and while Indianapolis hasn't been especially vulnerable to tight ends, they are still serving up 15.0 PPR points per game to the position. Kittle should be a preferred target for quarterback Brock Purdy, especially if Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) is unable to play or is limited. Kittle is a must-start tight end in the semi-final round of the fantasy football playoffs.
