J.K. Dobbins
vs George Kittle

“Conclusion: Dobbins is probably close to dumpsville, and Coleman is a high-priority waiver add. He looks like he will have the backfield mostly to himself for a few weeks. Do not blow your FAAB on this guy, but be aggressive.”

“Dobbins was forced to leave Denver’s matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars after suffering a hamstring injury during the second half. He immediately headed to the medical tent and was eventually ruled questionable to return, finishing the day with 10 carries for 36 yards. The injury leaves Denver’s backfield in a difficult spot, especially with RJ Harvey already inactive due to his own hamstring issue.”

“RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins were a complementary backfield in 2025.”

“Coleman makes sense as an RB4 option to begin the season and could move into RB2 territory later in the season if J.K. Dobbins misses time again.”

“Before he was forced to the sidelines with an injury, Dobbins averaged 16 touches and 81 yards per game, as well as five yards per attempt, subverting what many thought would be an RJ Harvey takeover year.”

“Despite selecting running backs on the second day of the past two drafts, the Broncos and HC Sean Payton opted to bring back injury-prone RB J.K. Dobbins, who continues to dominate when healthy. "Dobbins was a priority, ahead of all others," Payton said.”

“The team obviously values Dobbins, who has been excellent for the Broncos when on the field. Back in March, they extended him for two more years, guaranteeing him $8 million and including incentives that could push the contract's maximum value to $20 million.”

“Dobbins is coming back on a two-year $20 million contract.”

“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.”
