What are George Kittle's best fantasy football seasons?
The table below ranks every George Kittle season from the San Francisco 49ers by total fantasy points, listing games played, season points, points per game, and each year's best single week.
| Rank | Player | Team | Games | Points | Points Per Game | Best Week | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 16 | 257 | 16 | 34 | | 2 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 17 | 237 | 14 | 25 | | 3 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 15 | 222 | 15 | 26 | | 4 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 17 | 203 | 12 | 28 | | 5 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 17 | 200 | 12 | 30 | | 6 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 15 | 198 | 13 | 40 | | 7 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 13 | 162 | 12 | 25 | | 8 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 11 | 125 | 11 | 40 | | 9 | George Kittle | San Francisco 49ers | 16 | 106 | 7 | 21 |
The 2018 season sits alone at the top of this list. Kittle's 257 points that year came in 16 games, and his per-game mark of 16 also stands as the best of his career, so the top ranking holds up under either measure. His best single week that season, 34 points, is the third-highest single week on his entire record.
How do Kittle's other seasons compare to 2018?
The chase pack behind 2018 is led by 2024, when Kittle collected 237 points over 17 games. That season produced a best week of 25 points, well short of the 34-point peak from his record year. The 2019 season holds third place with 222 points in only 15 games, and its per-game figure of 15 is the second best on his record, which suggests 2019 was closer to the 2018 level on a week-to-week basis than the raw totals show.
The middle of the list is tightly packed. The 2023 and 2022 seasons both landed at 12 points per game, with 203 total points in 2023 and 200 in 2022. The 2021 season came in at 198 points but with a higher per-game figure of 13, and it contains one of the two biggest single weeks of Kittle's career: a 40-point outing that no other season on this list matches except 2020.
Which Kittle seasons fall below the top five?
Three seasons sit outside the top five. The 2025 season produced 162 points across 13 games with a best week of 25. The 2020 season totals 125 points over 11 games, yet it also contains a 40-point best week, matching 2021 for the largest single-game figure anywhere on Kittle's record. The 2017 season, his earliest entry, closed with 106 points in 16 games and a best week of 21.
The single-week column tells a story the totals do not: both 40-point weeks belong to seasons ranked sixth and eighth, while the top two seasons peaked at 34 and 25 points. Kittle's biggest individual fantasy performances did not come in his biggest overall years, a split worth knowing when judging his career from any one angle.
