It wasn't that long ago that a torn Achilles was considered a career-ending injury, and now drafters are willing to pick Kittle as a top 10 player at the position just seven months after his devastating injury? Even if he plays Week 1, I'd be concerned that he'll compensate for that injury and some other injury will pop up. After all, he is 32 years old now and has missed at least two games due to injury in six of the last seven seasons.

Kittle's TE9 ADP is risky; torn Achilles recovery at age 32 with injury history.

Kittle is positioned as TE9 (pick 104) in NFFC Eliminator ADP but the source is fading him in guillotine leagues due to injury risk. The source questions the willingness to draft Kittle as a top-10 tight end just seven months after his devastating torn Achilles injury. Even if Kittle plays Week 1, the source is concerned he will compensate for that injury and another injury will emerge. At 32 years old, Kittle has missed at least two games due to injury in six of the last seven seasons, making him a risky investment over running backs or wide receivers who could be started early in the season.
