Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Jaxson Dart

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.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 24 of his 33 pass attempts for 191 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the San Francisco 49ers. He also registered eight rushing attempts for 56 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The rookie sensation has played quite well despite New York's 2-7 record; he has 11 total touchdowns and just one interception over his last four games. In fact, he has scored a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown in four straight contests. Even if the Giants continue to lose, Dart should be started in most fantasy leagues. He's a mid-to-low QB1 for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, who just surrendered 470 yards and four touchdowns to Joe Flacco.
