STM Take
Kittle at STTM #2 tier 1 in 2025 closes the rare run of five straight top-2 finishes at the position (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2025). Seven Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pros at age 32 is the all-time elite tier. The 11 games played in 2025 (vs. 17 from McBride) is the only thing keeping him below first overall, and 24.5 and 22.8 PPR weeks in his returns confirm the talent has not regressed.
Kittle was born in Madison, Wisconsin, attended Norman High in Oklahoma, and played at Iowa before the 49ers took him 146th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. He has been two-time first-team All-Pro (2019, 2023), three-time second-team All-Pro (2018, 2022, 2024), and seven-time Pro Bowler (2018-2025 with one gap year). Career line is 595 catches for 8,008 yards and 52 receiving TDs across nine seasons.
Strengths
- Seven Pro Bowls and two first-team All-Pros at age 32; the resume is among the deepest at the position in modern history.
- Five straight top-2 STTM finishes; the only player at any position with that consistency on this board.
Concerns
- Only 11 games played in 2025; the durability is starting to fade at age 32.
- Recent game log includes a 1.6 PPR Week 19 finale; the floor weeks come now when he plays through injury.
What to watch: Games played in 2026; Kittle's tier-1 case is intact when he is on the field, but the games available are the limit.
