Fantasy Life Articles on George Kittle

Kittle's age and Achilles injury make Week 1 return unlikely and risky.

Kittle turns 33 in October and is recovering from a postseason Achilles tear. While HC Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch are optimistic about Week 1 readiness, almost no older player has returned from an Achilles injury and immediately picked up where they left off. Currently on the PUP, Kittle might miss the first month of the season and could be notably sluggish upon return. Drafting someone already less than 100% entering the season creates preventable problems.
