George Kittle gains 40 yards for 49ers on 11 targets

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught 4 passes for 40 yards on 11 targets in a Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

What It Means:

Kittle was unable to produce much, but he drew double-digit targets for the first time this season and finished second on the team with a 27 percent target share. The top-tier tight end has seen 20 targets over the last two weeks after totaling nine in the first two games. However, Kittle was only targeted three times after halftime on Sunday once Jimmy Garoppolo had been replaced by Trey Lance due to a calf injury. Deebo Samuel drew a team-high eight targets from Lance and Mohamed Sanu was second with four. Garoppolo expects to be out multiple weeks, so Lance is the likely starter for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Kittle scored 6.0 FanDuel points in Week 4 and he's averaging 8.3 FanDuel points per game this season. Among the 39 tight ends to draw double-digit targets, Kittle is averaging the sixth-most yards per route run, per Pro Football Focus. The Cardinals are allowing the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to the tight end position this season.
