George Kittle vs Quentin Johnston: Who Should You Start?

Comparing George Kittle (TE, San Francisco 49ers) against Quentin Johnston (WR, Los Angeles Chargers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. George Kittle averaged 12.1 PPG in 2025 over 11 games, while Quentin Johnston posted 10.4 PPG across 14 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

George Kittle has his bye in Week 9, Quentin Johnston in Week 5. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor George Kittle at 12.1 PPG, 1.7 points per game above Quentin Johnston's 10.4. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
