There is an acknowledged Big 5 among NFL tight ends and San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle is near the back end of that cluster. He is a priority player whose current ranking has him being taken on the cusp of the 5th and 6th round – and after he’s off the board, according to ADP numbers, there is only one tight end taken in the next 26 picks.
Below, we look at George Kittle‘s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Kittle has more than 70 receptions in 3 of the last 4 seasons and in the one year he didn’t, he was on pace for a career year — 96 receptions for 1,268 yards —' before being sidelined by injury and playing just 8 games. He has been as key a receiving weapon as the 49ers have and he has been capable of stringing together the type of production needed in tight end-mandatory leagues.
George Kittle’s ADP: 50.71
