2024 RTSports Outlook

Kittle's receptions and yards were down last year but he had a career high in touchdowns (11). His big touchdown totals led to him being third overall in fantasy tight end scoring. He was a consistent factor in the 49ers offense, having four games with 20-plus fantasy points and eight with double-digit fantasy points. Kittle has two 1,000-yard seasons for his career and three years with 70-plus receptions. He remains one of the top tight ends in the game. Kittle isn't a flashy player but a playmaker. He runs solid routes and has great hands. Kittle lacks a little size but is a more than willing blocker. He lacks a little explosion for the position and uses his strength more than anything when it comes to catching the ball and blocking. He also has surprising speed.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Kittle is a top-five fantasy tight end. The numbers don't lie. He could even challenge for first overall in tight end scoring if he gets more stable quarterback play this year. Look for his reception and yardage totals to get a little better this year. He is worth grabbing in the first four or so rounds of drafts. Expect around 80 receptions for 1,000 yards and seven touchdowns.

Player Notes
Mar 15 12:20pm ET

The San Francisco 49ers restructured the contract of tight end George Kittle on Friday to create close to $10 million in 2024 salary cap space. It's likely that the 49ers converted Kittle's base salary this year into bonus money to create the cap space. The 30-year-old former fifth-round pick by the team in 2017 out of Iowa has made the Pro Bowl five times in his first seven seasons and has been a big reason for the 49ers' success in recent year. In 16 regular-season games, Kittle caught 65 of his 90 targets for a league-high 1,020 receiving yards among tight ends and six touchdowns. He only caught two passes for four yards in the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but Kittle continues to be one of the top fantasy tight ends in the game.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle agreed to a contract restructure, clearing roughly $10 million in salary-cap space, according to source Friday, March 15.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle disappointed fantasy gamers in the team's 25-22 Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on Sunday. Chiefs' defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and his squad silenced Kittle, limiting him to just two catches on three targets for four yards receiving. Though Kittle finished as the fifth-most productive tight end in half-PPR scoring this year, nights like this are to be expected. In five separate games this year, he failed to reach five points. The Super Bowl loss ends Kittle's season with a particularly painful whimper though, as he finished with fewer than 10 yards receiving for just the third time this season. Of course, you can't have a top-5 finish without great games as well, so he'll likely be a mid-level TE1 in fantasy drafts this fall as he tries to get to the Super Bowl for a third time.

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 11. Kittle was able to return to the game but finished with just two receptions for four yards. He was targeted three times.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (undisclosed) went to the locker room during overtime of Super Bowl LVIII with an undisclosed injury.

From TheHuddle

Feb 10 6:10pm ET

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) is off the injury report and should have ample opportunities to make his mark in Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas on Sunday. While Kittle only had three targets in the NFC Championship Game against Detroit, he was more involved the week prior versus Green Bay, drawing seven targets. During the regular season, while Kittle has had his share of week-winning games, Travis Kelce has been the more steady option, which led to Kelce's 11.5 Half-PPR points per game to Kittle's 10.7. Kittle is a fine option for fantasy gamers, but DFS players willing to spend for the top tight end will go with Kelce, who has been on fire as the focal point of KC's playoff passing attack. During the regular season, the Chiefs finished as the eighth toughest defense in half-PPR formats to tight ends. In the playoffs, they've continued their suppression by allowing an average of 4.3 receptions, 30.7 yards, and no touchdowns per game to the position. While Kittle may not have the safe floor of Kelce, fantasy gamers could do worse than save a few DFS dollars and hope Kittle has one of his signature YAC-monster games up his sleeve in Vegas.

From RotoBaller

Feb 9 7:53pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) fully participated in practice Friday, Feb. 9, and is not on the injury report for Super Bowl LVIII.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle should see plenty of targets in the passing game against the Kansas City Chiefs and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Feb 9 12:20am ET

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) was limited in practice again on Thursday, but head coach Kyle Shanahan reported that Kittle will be good to go for Sunday in Super Bowl LVIII to face the Kansas City Chiefs. The 30-year-old suffered a minor toe injury in the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions and didn't practice at all last week. However, the Niners were just giving their Pro Bowl tight end some extra rest and he's going to be just fine to play in the Super Bowl this Sunday. He shouldn't have any limitations against a strong Chiefs defense, and fantasy managers are hoping he's more involved in the passing attack after going quiet for his standards in the last contest. Kittle could easily bounce back against KC after leading all tight ends in receiving yards in the regular season.

From RotoBaller

Feb 8 8:33pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) has been limited during practice this week, but head coach Kyle Shanahan said he has no worries about Kittle's availability for Super Bowl LVIII.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle should be able to handle his normal workload this week despite the injury and can be a starting tight end in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Feb 8 7:23pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) was limited during practice Thursday, Feb. 8.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle is on track to play in Super Bowl LVIII but may not be fully healthy for the game. He should still see a good amount of targets in the passing game and can be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Feb 7 8:10pm ET

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) was limited in the team's practice on Wednesday after not practicing at all last week. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said he believes Kittle will be a full-go for Thursday's practice. The 30-year-old tight end suffered a minor toe injury in the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions and was considered day-to-day at the start of last week. He shouldn't be in danger at all of not being able to play in the Super Bowl this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Kittle led all tight ends with just over 1,000 receiving yards during the regular season and could play a key role as the Niners look to overcome a strong Chiefs defense in Super Bowl LVIII. KC's defense was vulnerable to the position to close out the regular season, so Kittle could find some success for DFS gamers.

From RotoBaller

Feb 7 7:53pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) was limited during practice Wednesday, Feb. 7.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle was back on the field Wednesday after missing practice this week. He should be active for Super Bowl LVIII as long as he does not suffer a setback and should be a starting option in all leagues.

From TheHuddle

Feb 5 8:13pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) is not concerned about his availability for Super Bowl LVIII even though he missed some practice last week because of a toe injury, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle should be back on the field this week and will have a big role in the passing game. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues as long as he does not suffer a setback.

From TheHuddle

Feb 2 7:23pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) did not participate in practice Friday, Feb. 2, but is not on the initial injury report for Super Bowl LVIII.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle should be back on the field next week and likely will be available for Super Bowl LVIII. He is a big part of the passing game for the 49ers and should be a starting option in all leagues.

From TheHuddle

Feb 2 7:10pm ET

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) missed a third straight day of practice this week on Friday but was not given an injury designation after the first week of preparation for Super Bowl LVIII against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 11. Kittle suffered a minor toe injury in the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions last Sunday and was considered day-to-day on Monday, but he told reporters he's not worried about his injury and he should return to the practice field next week. Even if the Super Bowl were being played this weekend, Kittle would likely play. The 30-year-old caught just two passes for 27 yards in the win over the Lions, but he led all tight ends with just over 1,000 yards during the regular season and had four catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in the Divisional Round win over the Packers. Kittle could easily rebound in the Super Bowl against a Chiefs defense that was vulnerable to opposing TEs late in the season.

From RotoBaller

Feb 1 8:00pm ET

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) sat out of a second straight practice on Thursday while dealing with a minor toe injury that he suffered in Sunday's NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle would be considered day-to-day for the first week of practice preparation for the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 11, against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Niners are most likely just giving Kittle some extra rest this week. Even if he doesn't practice on Friday, he should return to the field next week and play in the Super Bowl. The 30-year-old disappointed in the NFC Championship, but he led all tight ends in yardage with 1,020 during the 2023 regular season and will be looking to bounce back against the Chiefs next weekend.

From RotoBaller

Feb 1 4:13pm ET

San Francisco 49ers George Kittle (toe) will not participate in practice Thursday, Feb. 1.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle does not need to rush back to practice, so he likely will not be on the field again until next week. Fantasy players can monitor the situation, but he should be able to play against the Kansas City Chiefs and will be a starting option in all leagues.

From TheHuddle

Jan 31 7:30pm ET

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (toe) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated practice report on Wednesday. Kittle came out of the NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday with a minor toe injury, and head coach Kyle Shanahan called him day-to-day on Monday. The Niners will likely give Kittle some rest this week, but there's no reason why he shouldn't be ready to rock for the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 30-year-old led all tight ends in total yards during the regular season and has caught six passes (10 targets) for 108 yards and a touchdown in two playoff games leading into the Super Bowl.

From RotoBaller

Jan 31 5:53pm ET

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (toe) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Jan. 31. The 49ers did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.

Fantasy Spin: Kittle is considered day-to-day, so he may not return to the field until next week. He should be available for Super Bowl LVIII and will be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
