Should You Start or Sit George Kittle in Week 15?
With the young star power at the tight end position and the general struggles of the 49ers, is it possible that Kittle’s season has been a bit overlooked up to this point?
His first target last week against the Bears resulted in a 33-yard reception (the fifth time in six games he’s had a 30-yard gain), and when all was said and done, he cleared 125 receiving yards for the second time this year,
Top-10 TE finishes, 2024:
- Kittle: 10
- Trey McBride: Nine
- Brock Bowers: Eight
Kittle was inactive for San Francisco’s first game against Los Angeles, but that didn’t stop Brock Purdy from dominating (292 yards and three scores on 30 pass attempts). If that form reappears this week with the 49ers’ season on the brink, Kittle has a good chance to pace the position in scoring this weekend.
