On a team with almost as much potential as question marks, Kittle is the safest bet. Over the last two years, the veteran has racked up 143 receptions, 2,126 yards, and 14 touchdowns. He's established himself as a favorite target of Purdy, and he's been mostly durable since an injury filled 2020 limited him to just eight games. With uncertainty at receiver, we could see even heavier involvement from Kittle, who is coming off his second-best season statistically over an eight-year career.
If you're looking for risks, there are a couple worth noting. First, Kittle has a lot of mileage on his body due to heavy usage and several deep playoff runs. While he's been durable, you can't dismiss all injury concerns as he enters his age-32 campaign. Second, San Francisco's pass protection relies heavily on Trent Williams locking down the left side. The veteran is an elite talent, but he'll be 37 when the season kicks off and is coming off a year in which he missed seven games. If Williams misses time again, Kittle could find himself having to stay in and help protect Purdy.
Kittle deserves to be viewed as a top five tight end for fantasy purposes. He's a notch below Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, both of whom are featured weapons and ascending talents, but after that you can consider him a viable choice alongside names like Sam LaPorta and Travis Kelce.

 Purdy & Pearsall Out for 49ers, Mac Jones to start
George Kittle expected to play
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 17, 3:00 pm
|  | 49ers ruled out QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) for Sunday night’s game against the Falcons.
49ers QB Mac Jones starts again. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Jauan Jennings is off the injury report which is curious considering he's dealing ankle, shoulder and rib injuries. George Kittle (hamstring) is set to be activated off injured reserve on Saturday and will play as well. Mac Jones is averaging 313 yards in his four games this season. He'll have a difficult matchup against the Falcons who've given up the 5th fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks.
| George Kittle likely to return in Week 7
Hamstring injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 3, 3:08 pm
| | 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters that TE George Kittle, who has been on IR due to a hamstring injury, is more likely to return in Week 7 vs. Atlanta than next week in Week 6 vs. Tampa Bay. A return for next Sunday is considered a “long shot.” (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Kittle injured his hamstring in Week 1 and has missed every game since. In his absence, Jake Tonges has been working as the receiving tight end for the 49ers and has has scored in back-to-back games. Kittle should move right into the top tier at the position once he returns. The 49ers have a bye in Week 14.
