3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle caught a 29-yard pass during a 23-7 Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. The 49ers star tight end only drew two targets with rookie quarterback Trey Lance making his second career start on Sunday, but he did add a six-yard carry on his lone rushing attempt. Kittle should remain a top-five tight end option against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, assuming quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is healthy enough to return from a thumb injury that sidelined him against the Texans. Kittle is matchup-proof but has better rapport with Garoppolo, raising his floor and ceiling in a big divisional showdown in Los Angeles next week if Jimmy G returns.--Matt MacKay - RotoBaller
