Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Dalton Kincaid

Saturday, November 1, 6:04 AM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught four passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. The stat line was not outstanding, but it was enough to qualify as one of the few bright spots for the team on a day where they generated just 223 net yards on offense. Kittle ranked third on the team with five targets, behind Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs, shoulder) and Christian McCaffrey, and will be in the mix to lead the team in targets in Week 9 against the Giants. Mac Jones (knee) has been tabbed to start while Brock Purdy (toe) is listed as questionable. Jones has been unafraid to throw this season (37.7 pass attempts/game), and he kept his tight end Jake Tonges in the picture while Kittle was on the shelf (6.5 targets/game in Jones' starts). Kittle is projected as a TE1 with top-five upside and should be plugged into starting lineups for Week 9.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid had a monster game in his team's 28-21 Week 9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, recording six catches for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The 26-year-old has now recorded 27 receptions for 411 yards and four scores on 33 targets across seven games played in 2025. Kincaid missed Buffalo's Week 6 loss due to an oblique injury and was eased back into the lineup in the team's blowout Week 8 win, their first game back from their bye week. He appeared to be back to full health in Week 9, which is a great sign for both fantasy managers and the Bills. Kincaid profiles as a clear fantasy starter at the tight end position heading into a favorable Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.
