Fantasy Football: 12 Barely-Owned Players to Watch
George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers
ESPN Ownership Percentage: 1.0%
The San Francisco 49ers finally were able to move Vance McDonald, whom they were set on getting rid of for whatever reason. The trade opened up room for their fifth-round investment, George Kittle. The 6'4", 247 pounder is a workout warrior, coming in with a 4.52 40-yard dash, an 88th percentile SPARQ score, and 100th percentile agility score.
Kittle projects as an ideal fit for the “move” tight end in head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense, but is currently dealing with a hamstring issue, so his rookie season may be delayed. Keep an eye on his progress and involvement in the offense, because there will be plenty of opportunity for the young athletic specimen.
