Kittle is a high-risk asset coming off an Achilles rupture.

Deepak Chona is out on George Kittle due to his recovery from an Achilles rupture. Chona notes that historically, players see a significant dip in strength in the first year back, and Kittle's reliance on creating separation makes him a high-risk asset.
