George Kittle DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle played a key role in the team's 24-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers last week, posting four catches on seven targets for 81 yards and a touchdown. He'll look to keep the good times rolling in a favorable matchup on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions in Santa Clara. Detroit allowed the 10th most half-PPR fantasy points to tight ends during the regular season. Most recently, the Lions allowed Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton to gather five receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown. With the matchup and momentum on his side, Kittle has a good chance to outproduce all other fantasy tight ends in Championship Week.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle was instrumental in the team's 24-21 comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers in Saturday's Divisional Round. Kittle secured four of seven targets for a team-leading 81 yards and a touchdown. The second-quarter, 32-yard strike was San Francisco's first score of the game and a brilliant display of what Kittle is capable of in one-on-one coverage. In the fourth quarter, he committed a bad drop during the 49ers' final drive that may not have been so easily forgotten had Brandon Aiyuk not picked up a first down the next play en route to the comeback. Kittle will be a boom/bust option when he takes on either the Detroit Lions or Tampa Bay Buccaneers in next Sunday's NFC Championship Game in Santa Clara.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (back) put in three full practices this week and was removed from the final injury report on Thursday. He will play in the Divisional Round of the postseason on Saturday versus the visiting Green Bay Packers. Kittle had some minor back spasms that kept him out of a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale and he had the bye week to rest up even more in the wild-card round. The 30-year-old will be a popular DFS play in the Divisional Round this weekend after leading all tight ends in 2023 with 1,020 receiving yards despite not playing in Week 18. The Packers defense was a middle-of-the-road matchup for opposing tight ends, but they also allowed three touchdowns to Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson in the wild-card round. Kittle is the third-most expensive player at his position at DraftKings with a $5,200 price tag.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (back) and wide receiver Danny Gray (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday for the second straight day this week. Back spasms kept Kittle out of a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale, but he's had the last two weeks to rest and should be a full-go for the Divisional Round playoff game this Saturday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. The 30-year-old should thus be a popular DFS play against the Packers this weekend after leading all tight ends with 1,020 receiving yards during the regular season on 65 catches in 16 games. He also found the end zone six times. Only the Chiefs' Travis Kelce and Lions' Sam LaPorta are more expensive at the position on DraftKings for the Divisional Round.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (back) and wide receiver Danny Gray (shoulder) were both listed as full practice participants on Tuesday's report. The 49ers gave Kittle the Week 18 regular season finale off due to back spasms in what was a meaningless game, and it appears that the last two weeks off did him some good. Barring a setback later this week, the 30-year-old should be full steam ahead for the Divisional Round matchup on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers. Right now, Kittle is the third-most expensive tight end at DraftKings for the Divisional Round after going for over 1,000 yards receiving with six touchdowns on 65 receptions during the regular season. With proper rest to heal up, Kittle will be a strong DFS tight end play this weekend against a Packers defense that just gave up three touchdowns to Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson.
