Kittle's Achilles recovery on track; TE3 FPPG last season with rising ADP.

Kittle was drafted as the TE in this mock and got an encouraging report on his recovery from an Achilles tear; he appears on track to not start the season on the PUP list. While he may not play Week 1 and the 49ers could hold him out initially, the source feels comfortable rolling out secondary TE options early until Kittle gets up to speed. His ADP is rising and while the source reached on him slightly, he has a great chance of returning value as the TE3 in FPPG last season. San Francisco would be one injury to Mike Evans away from Kittle being the clear top receiving option on the offense, giving him red-zone target hog status and a great floor/ceiling combo.
