George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

Yahoo! Ownership: 18%

Despite seeing 17 targets the last two weeks, tied for fourth-most among tight ends in the NFL, rookie George Kittle is still available in over 80% of Yahoo! Fantasy leagues. The San Francisco 49ers' rookie has collected 11 catches for 129 yards and a score during the stretch, earning himself a place as the number-six tight end in standard leagues and number-five in PPR in Weeks 5 and 6 combined. The Iowa product's stock should continue to rise in the Bay Area, especially after a quarterback change to fellow rookie C.J. Beathard.

After playing together for four years at Iowa, Beathard and Kittle already have a rapport that should easily transfer from college to the NFL ranks. Their familiarity with one another will come in handy as Beathard adapts to running a pro offense.

While Week 7's opponent, the Dallas Cowboys, are about middle of the pack defensively, they have allowed four of the five tight ends they faced to collect at least 44 yards, providing Kittle with a nice floor this Sunday.
