Matt Waldman on George Kittle

From the video

they have a big vacancy in terms of a productive over-the-middle target now that Jennings is is likely gone. And and KD, we don't know when or if he's going to be back. And if he does come back, how much of George KD are we getting at 33 coming off an Achilles?

Age 33 post-Achilles return creates durability uncertainty for 49ers tight end.

George Kittle's return timeline and availability remain uncertain post-Achilles injury at age 33; the durability concern is significant for fantasy planning. The 49ers have a big vacancy at productive over-the-middle target now that Jauan Jennings is likely gone, but Kittle's health status makes him unreliable for filling that role. His availability on the mend may affect whether the team can strengthen 11 personnel (one tight end) or must rely more heavily on two-tight-end sets and fullback blocking schemes to improve rushing efficiency.
