After tearing his Achilles in a January playoff game, George Kittle made a triumphant return to action in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams. Kittle had a 42.6% snap share and had 2-12-0 on five targets, but he looked good despite the uninspiring stat line. The fact that the 49ers' opener was played in Australia might have been one reason for the limited snap count. Even if Kittle isn't back to full snaps in Week 2, I'm ranking him as a midrange TE1 thanks to a favorable home matchup against the Dolphins and their weak, inexperienced secondary.

Despite the uninspiring stat line, he looked good; the limited snap count may have been influenced by the game being played in Australia. Even if Kittle isn't back to full snaps in Week 2, the source ranks him as a midrange TE1 thanks to a favorable home matchup against the Dolphins and their weak, inexperienced secondary.
