From the episode

we've all got them ranked outside the top 15 based on Mike's projections. I'm leaning out. There's one way in which this would change. That way would be if there's some sort of rhetoric... that George Kittle is not going to have a limitation in his workload

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Bench Kittle for Week 1 due to expected snap limitations following his Achilles injury.

George Kittle is currently ranked outside the top 15 tight ends due to his recovery from a January Achilles tear. The source expects him to be limited if he plays on Thursday, projecting roughly 41% of snaps, 5 targets, 3 catches, and 36 yards. Unless there is explicit news that he has no workload limitations, the source recommends benching him for Week 1.
