Tight End
George Kittle

George Kittle had a very solid rookie season (43 catches/515 yds/2 TDs), but this should only be the beginning for the young Tight End. Kittle emerged as a reliable target for Jimmy Garappolo, and got better every week with his new QB. The Niners will be a team on the rise in 2018, and the team will have to get Kittle involved in the passing game in order to move the ball through the air. Watch out for Kittle, and the 49ers, to make huge strides this year.
Projected Stats: 61 receptions, 794 yards, 7 TDs
Runner Up: Trey Burton, TE, Chicago Bears
