However, if Kittle is sidelined, Jake Tonges is a viable replacement/streaming/DFS option. During the seven games Kittle was sidelined last season (including the playoffs), Tonges handled a 17.9% target share (6.6 per game) and posted a 34-328-3 receiving line. That works out to 11.8 fantasy PPG, which would have ranked eighth among all tight ends, ahead of the likes of Harold Fannin Jr., Travis Kelce, Tyler Warren and Jake Ferguson.
