Brock Bowers vs George Kittle
Brock Bowers holds a 71.7% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR BOWERS
Brock Bowers is a premium dynasty TE asset at 23.6 with an elite value gap (7,721 vs 2,088) that reflects multi-year insulation and market demand. He profiles as a target-earning mismatch who can anchor a lineup for an entire competitive window, and any QB/offense improvement only adds upside. Even if LV is volatile short-term, his age and positional scarcity make him the safer long-horizon bet and the easier piece to build around.
THE CASE FOR KITTLE
George Kittle is still one of the few tight ends who can deliver true week-winning spike weeks when healthy in a high-efficiency 49ers offense. For contenders, his weekly ceiling plus TD equity can outscore many younger TEs in the near term, especially in premium scoring settings. The discounted value (2,088) makes him an attractive points-per-dollar buy if your roster is ready to win now and can absorb injury/age risk.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Bowers is the better asset, but Kittle is a strong win-now buy if you can add him cheaply without giving up core pieces.
Take Bowers—age, value insulation, and multi-year elite TE runway make Kittle a sell in rebuilds.
With a 73% gap in favor of Bowers, you only pivot to Kittle if you’re chasing a title this year and the trade cost is meaningfully lower than market for Bowers.

Trade?
If contending, try to acquire Kittle for a 2nd-plus type package; otherwise pay up for Bowers only if you’re keeping him as a long-term cornerstone.
Superflex?
Superflex slightly devalues non-QBs overall, but the Bowers-over-Kittle conclusion doesn’t change because the gap is primarily age/insulation vs short-term points.
