From the article

Over the past two seasons, Kittle averaged 6.1 targets per game (TE8) and 10.7 yards per target (TE1). If the Achilles tear means he's closer to 5.0 targets per game (TE22) and 8.5 YPT (TE5), then he's only averaging 42.5 yards per game. That feels far more realistic than what a Round 7 price tag suggests.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Kittle's post-Achilles projection of 42.5 yards/game doesn't justify Round 7 ADP.

Hayden Winks projects Kittle's efficiency will decline post-Achilles tear; over the past two seasons Kittle averaged 6.1 targets per game (TE8) and 10.7 yards per target (TE1), but Winks expects a more realistic post-injury profile of 5.0 targets per game (TE22) and 8.5 YPT (TE5), averaging only 42.5 yards per game—far below what his Round 7 ADP suggests.
