Fantasy Football, Week 12: Best lineup with start/sit advice

George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers

Stats: 775 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns 

George Kittle has proven that it doesn’t matter who is playing quarterback for the 49ers. He always gets the bulk of the targets. Kittle is a high floor fantasy option at the tight end position. His usage makes him a TE1 week in and week out. For those who own him in fantasy, we give you major kudos. For those who don’t, we share your pain. Kittle has been a sneaky play this season and has paid off for those that are lucky enough to play him each and every week.

Kittle this season is averaging seven targets and 77.5 yards per game. Why wouldn’t you use him? With new starting quarterback Nick Mullens under center, Kittle has been a even bigger focal point of this offense. He is without a doubt Mullens security blanket. Nothing will change going forward as they will be going up against the 28th-ranked Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12. Tampa Bay fell off the wagon after their hot start to the 2018 campaign. Even their once great run defense is in shambles.

Kittle and the rest of his offense will have no problems driving the ball up and down the field. Kittle needs to be used in all formats and in every way that you can going forward. He is 3rd-ranked among tight ends in total receiving yards, receiving yards per game, overall targets, overall receptions, and targets and receptions per game. This man has risen to the occasion and taken hold of this offense and put the receiving core on his back.

Prediction: 85 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns
