George Kittle vs Jake Ferguson
George Kittle holds a 16.6% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR KITTLE
Kittle still offers difference-making weekly ceiling and elite efficiency in an offense that creates high-value looks, especially in the red zone and after the catch. For contenders, his short-term points edge can swing matchups even if the volume is volatile. The 7.5% market premium is justified if you’re buying 1–2 years of top-end TE scoring rather than long-run insulation.
THE CASE FOR FERGUSON
Ferguson is 5+ years younger and priced slightly below Kittle, giving you a better chance to retain value over multiple seasons. He projects as a steadier, volume-friendly TE option with less weekly spike but fewer age-related cliff concerns. For teams not all-in, he’s the easier asset to hold or re-route in trades without taking a depreciation hit.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Kittle if you’re pushing chips in for 2025 points; pay the small premium for the ceiling.
Ferguson—age/value insulation matters more than Kittle’s short-term spike weeks.
It’s close, but the tiny price gap makes team direction the tiebreaker: contenders lean Kittle, everyone else leans Ferguson.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Kittle is worth slightly more for contenders, but Ferguson is the better long-term value bet at near-parity pricing.
Trade?
If you’re moving Kittle, try to get Ferguson plus a small add (late 2nd/3rd-type value) rather than swapping straight up.
Superflex?
In SF formats the TE gap matters a bit less than QB/WR/RB scarcity, so lean Ferguson unless Kittle’s points clearly push you into a title tier.
