Oh boy, you won’t believe the day I’ve had messing around with this George Kittle Penta thing. So, I got sucked into this rabbit hole, right? Trying to figure out what makes this guy tick in the fantasy football world. And let me tell you, it’s been a ride.
First off, I started digging into his stats. I mean, the guy’s a beast! He’s currently the No. 1 fantasy player at tight end, sitting pretty at 56th overall. We’re talking about 155.9 fantasy points, which breaks down to about 11.1 per game. That’s insane!
- I spent a good chunk of my morning just scrolling through pages and pages of numbers.
- Felt like I was back in school, but hey, it was kinda fun in a nerdy way.
Then, I got this wild idea to compare him to some of the all-time greats. Turns out, Kittle’s on pace for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But get this – he doesn’t even look at that stuff! He told some reporter, “I’ll look back on that whenever I’m done playing. It is what it is.” What a legend, right?
The Experiment
So, I decided to do a little experiment. I took his last five games and really broke them down. It’s crazy, but he’s had double-digit fantasy points in 10 of his last 12 games. In point-per-reception scoring, that’s gold!
- Pulled out my old calculator for this one.
- Made a bunch of charts and graphs, felt like a mad scientist or something.
I also found out he’s had the 4th-most weekly top-10 fantasy performances by a tight end, with 8. StatMuse has him at TE6, and he’s projected to hit 169.6 fantasy points this season. Just let that sink in.
And in one of the games against the Cowboys, he racked up 24.7 fantasy points. I almost fell off my chair when I saw that! In his last three games, he upped his season line to 56-800-8. What a performance!
By the end of the day, I was exhausted, but it was worth it. I feel like I’ve cracked the code or something. With 134.1 fantasy points in 2024 (11.2 per game), Kittle is not just the top fantasy player at his position, but also 62nd overall. It’s like, this guy’s not just playing football; he’s playing 4D chess.
Honestly, I started this just for kicks, but now I’m kinda hooked. Who knew numbers could be this interesting? Anyway, that’s my George Kittle deep dive for ya. Hope you enjoyed my little adventure as much as I did!
