Yahoo Sports NFL on George Kittle
From the article
Last week's season-high 19.0 expected half PPR points on eight targets are absolutely tied to the losses of Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring). Neither is expected to play in Week 7.
STACKED’s take
Kittle benefits from Evans and Samuel injuries; faces pass-funnel Falcons defense.
Kittle is the TE3 on TE5 usage across his last four games, averaging 14.6 half PPR points with four touchdowns in that stretch. Last week's season-high 19.0 expected half PPR points on eight targets are absolutely tied to the losses of Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel Sr. (hamstring). Neither is expected to play in Week 7. It'll likely be Christian Kirk, Jacob Cowing and Brandin Cooks at WR. Atlanta ranks 11th in fantasy points allowed to tight ends at 12.5 half PPR points per game, recently yielding 15.5 points and a score to Colston Loveland. The Falcons have been fourth-best in rushing yards per game but fourth-worst in pass yards per game. It's safe to call them a pass funnel right now. San Francisco enters this road tilt as favorites with a 25.25-point implied total (seventh).
