Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Isaiah Likely

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had a vintage game in Week 11, recording six catches for 67 yards and two touchdowns on six targets in his team's 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Kittle showed off his established chemistry with 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who made his first start since Week 4. The 32-year-old Kittle has now hauled in 27 catches for 251 yards and five touchdowns on 30 targets across six games played this season. He's heating up of late, recording 15 receptions for 151 yards and three scores over the last two weeks. Kittle profiles as a must-start tight end heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely hasn't really found a groove this season like he did at certain points last year. His best game was in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins when he collected three receptions for 60 yards and finished as the TE18 in half-PPR formats. Coming into a Week 11 matchup with the Cleveland Browns, Likely holds a bit more value with Rashod Bateman (ankle) and Justice Hill (toe) both being sidelined. Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers will probably remain the top two targets, however, and the Browns have only allowed five touchdowns to tight ends all season. That means Likely is still projected as a low-end TE2 who shouldn't be counted on in standard leagues.
