Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on George Kittle

Kittle TE12; only top-3 TE ever with sub-6.5 ADOT (2019 at 6.1).

JJ Zachariason ranks George Kittle as tight end 12 in his 2026 tight end tier list. Kittle is the only player in the last 10 years to achieve a top-three tight end season with an average target depth under 6.5 yards (6.1 ADOT in 2019), making him a historical outlier and the exception that proves Zachariason's rule about the necessity of deeper target depth for tier-one upside. Brock Bowers finished 2025 tied with Kittle in PPR points per game among tight ends, positioning both as top-tier performers despite Bowers' worst-case scenario circumstances.
