FantasyPros Articles on George Kittle
From the article
I'm willing to sit him in Week 1 with the playing time concerns and a tough matchup. Last year, the Rams allowed the third-fewest yards per target and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.
STACKED’s take
Brown recommends sitting Kittle in Week 1 due to playing time concerns and a tough Rams defense matchup.
Derek Brown advises sitting George Kittle in Week 1 despite his elite production metrics when healthy. While Kittle appears ready to play, Brown doubts he will see a full-time role in his return from injury, projecting a 50-60% snap rate. When on the field last year, Kittle ranked fourth in target share (20%) and yards per route run (2.30) among 54 qualifying tight ends, third in receiving yards per game (57.1) and first-read share (24.3%), and second in first downs per route run (0.139). However, the Rams allowed the third-fewest yards per target and seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends, creating a difficult matchup. Brown's sit recommendation stems from playing time concerns and the tough defensive matchup.
