George Kittle, TE, San Francisco

Yahoo! Ownership: 7%

Week 5 was George Kittle's coming out party. The rookie tight end caught 7 passes and his 1st NFL touchdown. His 83 yards against the Indianapolis Colts matched his total output in the first four games of the season.

Despite averaging just 3.5 targets and 2.5 catches before last week, Kittle has dominated the tight end snaps for the San Francisco 49ers, seeing the field in over 75% of the available plays. The 49ers newfound love for the tight end could not come at a better time as they face the Washington Redskins in Week 6, who allow the 3rd-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends.

In all four of their games played this season, Washington has allowed a tight end to rack up at least 90 yards or a touchdown, surrendering over 12 fantasy points per game. With Washington favored to beat San Fran by 10 points, the game script is in favor of the Niners' passing game, making Kittle a great streamer.
