Fantasy Football picks: Five bounce back players for Week 8

George Kittle – This up and coming superstar will be looking to bounce back from a five point performance against Washington. Now that game was played in very bad weather conditions, where the rain was pouring for a significant amount of time, and only nine total points were scored. Kittle has been having a pretty solid season, to the surprise of nobody. Averaging around seven targets per game, with that game against Washington coming in as his worst game on the season, and first game where he did not reach at least 50 yards receiving. The only real issue for Kittle has been touchdowns, as he only has one on the year.

In a game with Carolina he will not have an easy task as they have been rock solid on defense. The good thing is that Kittle is no ordinary tight-end, and is virtually impossible to defend. He runs like a wide receiver, but has the strength of a traditional tight-end. That is a dangerous combination when running down the middle of the field.

I think this game stays pretty competitive, and neither time should be running away with the game. Although, that Niners defense has been shutting down the best of offenses, so I suppose if they do that and they score a few times early on this game could get out of hand. With two good defenses on tap that is unlikely though, and the price tag is just under 7k for Kittle on FanDuel, which is just where I want him in this spot.
