From the episode

I would prefer to at least shoot for that higher upside with Kittle versus the, you know, standard production that we would get there.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

Kittle is preferred over Pollard for his higher upside despite injury risk.

Matt Kelley prefers George Kittle over Tony Pollard for his higher upside, despite lingering concerns about Kittle's availability for Week 1. Kelley notes that Kittle has been seen running, which is a positive sign for his recovery.
