On a team with almost as much potential as question marks, Kittle is the safest bet. Over the last two years, the veteran has racked up 143 receptions, 2,126 yards, and 14 touchdowns. He's established himself as a favorite target of Purdy, and he's been mostly durable since an injury filled 2020 limited him to just eight games. With uncertainty at receiver, we could see even heavier involvement from Kittle, who is coming off his second-best season statistically over an eight-year career.
If you're looking for risks, there are a couple worth noting. First, Kittle has a lot of mileage on his body due to heavy usage and several deep playoff runs. While he's been durable, you can't dismiss all injury concerns as he enters his age-32 campaign. Second, San Francisco's pass protection relies heavily on Trent Williams locking down the left side. The veteran is an elite talent, but he'll be 37 when the season kicks off and is coming off a year in which he missed seven games. If Williams misses time again, Kittle could find himself having to stay in and help protect Purdy.
Kittle deserves to be viewed as a top five tight end for fantasy purposes. He's a notch below Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, both of whom are featured weapons and ascending talents, but after that you can consider him a viable choice alongside names like Sam LaPorta and Travis Kelce.

 Brandon Aiyuk likely to return in early October
Shanahan: WR is "on track" to return around Week 6
By: Doug Orth | Tue Aug 12, 10:10 pm
|  | Kyle Shanahan said all of the 49ers' ACL guys - including Brandon Aiyuk - are on track to be back around Week 6, he said. He said there's a range of weeks that Aiyuk could actually be back in a game, but that's the rough estimate at this point. (The Athletic - Matt Barrows)
FFToday's Take: This suggests that Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall will each have a nice runway for the first half of the season if they can get healthy in time for Week 1. Given how uncertain Aiyuk's return date sounds, there is a world Jennings and Pearsall can operate as clear starters for at least half of the season. Outside of the receivers, Aiyuk's absence figures to boost the floors of Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
