Rizzla presents his tight end rankings for week eleven and puffs out George Kittle who forced his way into the elite tight end conversation.
As per usual for the 2018 season we had several outliers finish as TE1’s in week ten with Mo Alie-Cox, Nick Vannett, Tyler Higbee, Gerald Everett, Jesse James and Jonnu Smith all finishing the week among the top twelve at the position.
This positional variance is why George Kittle’s breakout 2018 has been so noteworthy and is why he is our featured player for this weeks tight end rankings. Kittle is on a historic tear in the yards after catch department and is one of the most exciting players to watch at his position.
Courtesy of our friends at playerproflier.com we will highlight TE4 George Kittle’s top stats and metrics from the first ten weeks of the 2018 fantasy football season:
- Targets : 71 (3rd)
- Target percentage: 22.8% (3rd)
- Red zone target share: 25% (5th)
- Receptions: 50 (3rd)
- Receiving yards: 775 (3rd)
- Air yards: 238 (9th)
- Yards after catch: 537 (1st)
- Red zone receptions: 7 (6th)
- Touchdowns: 3 (5th)
- Yards per reception: 15.5 (3rd)
- Yards per target: 10.9 (4th)
- Yards per route: 3.43 (9th)
- Fantasy points per route: 0.64 (5th)
- Fantasy points per target: 2.05 (9th)
As can be gleaned from the metrics above Kittle has been a man on fire this season and proved that his late season 2017 breakout was no fluke. Treat Kittle as an elite tight end option until further notice.
Now that we have finished highlighting the sheer dominance of George Kittle we can jump in to our tight end rankings for week eleven of the 2018 fantasy football season.
