Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Colby Parkinson

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle finished Week 11 with six catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns on six targets. His production made him the second-highest scoring tight end in fantasy football for the second week in a row. Even with wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) returning to the lineup, Kittle remained a priority target for quarterback Brock Purdy (toe). Kittle can keep the good times rolling in Week 12, when the 49ers face the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. The Panthers have allowed the fourth-most receiving yards to tight ends this year and are seeing the highest average yards per target to the position. Kittle is one of the safer bets one can make on a tight end in fantasy football, and he should be locked into starting lineups for Week 12.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson is rising up the depth chart ahead of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 26-year-old is expected to operate as the Rams' top tight end after Tyler Higbee (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. This promotion comes at a fitting time for Parkinson, who is riding a two-game touchdown streak. During that span, he has six catches for 55 yards while ranking as the overall TE6 in PPR leagues. While Parkinson probably won't maintain his top-12 value over a larger sample size, he's still a notable riser and will warrant some streaming consideration for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. He ranks as the overall TE27 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.
