George Kittle
vs Dalton Kincaid

“Two players, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and George Kittle , have been 10+% above their positional median for three straight weeks! Three straight weeks start moving us from merely an interesting start toward telling us who this player might actually be in their offense. Things can still change quickly, but if a player has an on-fire TPRR and it has not translated to fantasy points, then I tend to explore options to acquire them.”

“If I am using Purdy, I want some lineups where Kittle is the main beneficiary rather than automatically assuming the production lands with the WRs. I will have a few double TE with Purdy + Kittle and McBride. Fannin at 4.8% is my favorite cheaper tournament TE.”

“Overall, Kittle has a 16.1% target share, a 30% target per route run rate, 3.07 YPRR, three red zone targets, a 20% first-read share, and one deep target. Kittle should continue to see his workload slowly ramp up. He’s a TE1 again this week.”

“Kyle Terada-Imagn Images If he falls far enough in your draft, George Kittle could actually be a great value.”

“Doctors’ orders: TARGET George Kittle | TE, San Francisco 49ers At some point, Father Time collects his payment George Kittle is one of the most dominant tight ends of his generation.”

“Tight end George Kittle is attacking his Achilles rehab, and the preseason breakout of De’Zhaun Stribling is upon us; it gives Purdy an assortment of weapons to dominate every time he takes a snap.”

“Last year, Kittle was the TE2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 14.7 PPR fantasy points per contest. Unfortunately, the 49ers are already dealing with injuries at the wide receiver position, which could lead to Kittle being the team’s top targeted player this season.”

“TEs Dalton Kincaid seems to have been phased out of the Bills’ offense, catching only three passes in Weeks 3 and 4 combined.”

“Kincaid caught just one of his two targets in the Bills’ 29-26 loss to the Patriots, setting season lows across the board. Really, the most frustrating part for fantasy managers is that he was barely given an opportunity to do more. Even Bills coach Joe Brady acknowledged after the game that Kincaid needs to be more involved, saying, “ There’s no reason Dalton Kincaid should have two targets, ” and taking responsibility for finding more opportunities for him in the offense.”

“Kincaid has always been productive per-route; it’s just been a matter of running enough routes to pay off in fantasy. Finally, in his fourth season, it seems we may have the Dalton Kincaid we’ve all been waiting for. Kincaid’s 21% target share is just behind DJ Moore at 22%, and he’s leading the team by a mile with 2.72 half-PPR points per target.”

“Josh Allen , James Cook III, and Dalton Kincaid are easy starts for Buffalo.”

“Kincaid is picking up right where he left off last season from an efficiency standpoint. He currently ranks first among all tight ends in: Yards per route run (4.89) First downs per route run (0.196) Yards per target (16.1) Yards per reception (18.8) Air yards (182) Receiving yards (225) Explosive Rating (159.2) This comes on the heels of a 2025 season where he was similarly superior in several metrics and stats. The difference this year?”

“Dalton Kincaid : 52.5 Receiving Yards – Higher I was tempted to include Dalton Kincaid among the core studs instead of Washington, but I chose to include him in this section instead. Kincaid is amid a full-blown explosion after excelling on a per-route basis last year. He has ripped off the following numbers in two games this year: 71.1% snap share 65.7% route participation rate 23.3% target share 0.30 TPRR 21.2% first-read rate 6.0 receptions per game 112.5 receiving yards per game 4.89 Y/RR Kincaid has tallied 130 and 95 receiving yards against the Texans and Lions, respectively.”

“Kincaid has been one of the most efficient tight ends in the NFL, particularly last season when he posted the highest target rate and deep target share, along with the most yards per target, yards per route run, and fantasy points per route run. Part of the issue with Kincaid has been his health, but he’s also been limited to a part-time player next to Dawson Knox . He notched a 38% snap share last season, good for 70 th among all tight ends, and was 32 nd in route participation at 51%, still managing a TE13 finish in PPG.”
