4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 15

George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

DraftKings Price: $6,300
Projected Point: 21.7

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting the visiting Seattle Seahawks and have just a 19.75-point implied team total and are 4.5-point underdogs. Why in the world am I targeting George Kittle as the stud tight end to target in Week 15?

Over the last 4 games, Kittle has averaged 18.7 DraftKings points per game. That is the highest rate for the tight end position on the main slate. In fact, that average would make him the ninth-highest scoring wide receiver and the fifth-highest scoring running back. These are wild times. Only Jared Cook (0.39) and Eric Ebron (0.31) have higher fantasy points per snap rates over the last four games when compared to Kittle's 0.29.

He averages the most targets (7), most yards receiving (81) and receptions (5) at the tight end position for the main slate. He has scored double-digit DraftKings points in 10 of the last 11 games and has scored 20.80 or more in 4 of the games with a high water mark of 37.00 (last week).

Kittle has a strong ceiling and a very high floor, and at his price tag and his volatile position eligibility, he is extremely valuable.
