The 49ers tight end is defying logic in his return from an Achilles tear. Kittle was activated from the PUP list over the weekend, just a little more than seven months after the injury occurred... Although Kittle's return to the lineup is inspiring, it's hard to bank on him automatically becoming a top tier fantasy option. I'll roll the dice if he slips too far on draft day, but I would follow up that decision with a reliable backup option.

Although Kittle's return to the lineup is inspiring, it's hard to bank on him automatically becoming a top tier fantasy option. The source will roll the dice if he slips too far on draft day, but would follow that decision with a reliable backup option.
