A lot of injury concerns surround the 49ers as they head into their Super Bowl rematch against the Chiefs. With question marks surrounding Jordan Mason, Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, that leaves one man to fill the void. I’m loving George Kittle to score a touchdown here in Week 7.

The matchup for Kittle couldn’t be better. The Chiefs have really suffered against opposing tight ends, allowing the most catches and second most receiving yards. The 49ers, of course, utilize the tight end position at one of the highest rates in the league. With all the injuries I mentioned, this could be a huge blowup game for Kittle. The Chiefs have also been one of the best against perimeter receivers, so this has me all over Kittle in this matchup.
Kittle doesn’t just have a huge number of targets in the red zone, it’s more than double ANY other tight end. His 11 red zone targets cannot be ignored and I would expect Brock Purdy to be looking his way often in Week 7. Having the same odds to score as Aiyuk, who has been a total disaster this season is absurd. Aiyuk has yet to reach the end zone and will be under some lock down coverage by the Chiefs corners. Take this +135 from Kittle to score and run with it.
Bet George Kittle anytime touchdown +135
