Last season, the eight-year veteran earned the second-highest receiving grade at the position when you include the playoffs, but he ranked first in that same metric over the regular season. He has been the NFL's second-best tight end over the past two years, three years, and so on until you reach the period of Rob Gronkowski's peak.
•
Kittle's competition for targets is the main reason he isn’t a consistent top-three fantasy tight end each season. With Christian McCaffrey as the best running back in the league and Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel Sr. forming one of the best wide receiver duos, his target share is around 20% instead of the 25% his talent warrants. He would benefit if Aiyuk or Samuel were to be traded.
•
Kittle has ranked among the top six fantasy tight ends in points per game in each of the last five seasons. Despite the challenges he faces, which have persisted for years, he has consistently overcome them. While he may not finish as the overall TE1, he is a safe bet to finish in the top six again if he stays healthy.
