Should You Start or Sit George Kittle in Week 13?
Kittle didn’t see much change in terms of his role last weekend with Brock Purdy on the shelf. That has me comfortable in locking the star tight end regardless of the QB situation.
- 2024: 20% on-field target share, 9.0 aDOT, and 12.1 expected points
- Week 12: 22.2% on-field target share, 10.0 aDOT, and 11.9 expected points
The 49ers have made it clear that, no matter the players on the field, Kittle is the man they trust as the end zone comes into focus. He’s scored eight times in his past eight games, and with the Bills focusing on preventing big perimeter plays, he should have room to operate in the middle portion of the field.
