George KD is on the training camp PUP list... I'm guessing right now, I'm saying George KD does not play week one against the Rams, but he does probably play week two. I have not been huge on George KD, honestly, throughout the entirety of draft season. Not the type of bet I like to make. A 33-year-old dude coming back from the Achilles. I think George KD is like one of the most survivable players in fantasy football. I know the spike weeks are insane. I actually like him a little bit less on DraftKings, but like his stuff is just so touchdown based.
STACKED’s take
PUP list with Achilles injury; likely misses week 1, skeptical despite spike-week upside.
On 49ers training camp PUP list recovering from Achilles injury; Davis Mattek doubts week 1 availability despite team's public statements, citing rehab concerns and the logistical burden of traveling to Australia for season opener. Mattek estimates Kittle likely misses week 1 against Rams but plays week 2, with potential three-week rehab window if he stays home while team travels. Mattek has been below market on Kittle throughout draft season, not bullish on a 33-year-old returning from Achilles injury, preferring his teammates instead; holds only 3.6% exposure in best-ball leagues, reflecting skepticism relative to consensus draft positioning. However, Mattek evaluates Kittle as one of the most survivable players in fantasy football with insane spike weeks, though he likes him slightly less on DraftKings because his production is heavily touchdown-dependent, making him more volatile in PPR formats.
