George KittleTESF

Placed on active PUP list Saturday while recovering from torn right Achilles suffered in NFC playoff win over Eagles in January; eligible to participate in practice once fully recovered but limited to side work for now. Though optimistic about week one readiness against Rams on September 10th, the source expects his ADP to fall due to injury uncertainty. Despite a 'crazy high weekly ceiling' especially on a Brock Purdy team that could justify an early draft pick, the source believes he will fall in ADP and cost less than his ceiling upside warrants.

KD is eligible to participate in practice once he's fully recovered from his injury, but he'll be limited to side work for the time being. he has such a crazy high weekly ceiling that especially on a Brock party team, you have to go ahead and take him here.
