Tight End · San Francisco 49ers · Age 32 · Iowa · TE3 Half-PPR (Week 4 2026)
George Kittle is ranked TE3 (overall #3) for the Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season in Half-PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
Kittle is back to cooking. He had a few whip routes underneath that resulted in a missed tackle or two, then had two awesome scores in the red area on great designs. He was matched up with a stand-up edge rusher for an angle route TD, then leaked out on a play-action play with 90 seconds left up by 2 points where nobody covered him. Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy are at the very top of their game, and the 49ers are suddenly relying on Kittle way earlier than expected due to injuries to Mike Evans (ribs), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Demarcus Robinson (ankle), Jake Tonges and others. Kittle is the TE5 on TE10 usage this season, with back-to-back games inside the top-6 at the position. Whew. Congrats to those who drafted him at an injury discount (sadly, not me).
