Preseason
Kittle was slowed by a nagging calf injury that cost him three games and chunks of others in 2021, and his final line () suffered. But when available, he showed why he still has to be considered a premier fantasy option. Over 17 games (playoffs included), Kittle caught 78 balls for 1,018 yards and 7 touchdowns, good for a TE finish in PPR formats.

Kittle's health does tend to come into play for the fantasy world: he's missed 15 of his last 49 regular-season games with various injuries.
