Who Should I Start? George Kittle or DeVonta Smith

Sunday, November 9, 10:29 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle suffered a hamstring injury in the season opener and landed on Injured Reserve, so it's been a frustrating season for his fantasy managers. However, Kittle showed on Sunday why he's still a high-end fantasy TE when he's healthy. In the team's 42-26 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, he led the team by catching all nine of his targets for a season-high 84 receiving yards and his third touchdown of the season. Kittle's nine targets were tied for second on the team, and his nine catches and 84 receiving yards led the 49ers. The 32-year-old veteran's touchdown was a nifty show of athleticism as he tiptoed the sideline and dove for the pile-on. Kittle also made a highlight-reel catch earlier in the game where he laid out with full extension to make the grab. He had more yards on Sunday than he did in his previous three games, and he could be starting to heat up just in time for quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) to potentially return in Week 11 against the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is looking more and more like the true first option in the Philly passing game after outperforming and out-snapping A.J. Brown against the Packers. Smith has now led his team in receiving yards in five of their nine contests-including the last three in a row-while Brown has done so only once. In Week 11, the Lions travel to Lincoln Financial Field boasting a defense that has not allowed a 100-yard receiver in their last four games. Smith has put up more than 14 points in PPR formats in four of his last five performances, but he'll have his work cut out for him on Sunday night. His target numbers have gotten higher and more consistent after the first four weeks of the season, making him a more reliable WR2 for this week and the foreseeable future.
