From the episode

I am not cranking him up. I have him at tight end 17. It's just hard to imagine him missing so much time, being in doubt to even travel for this game, and then playing a full complement of snaps.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Kittle is a risky start at TE17 due to recent injury concerns.

Kittle is ranked as the TE17 for tonight's game; it is difficult to trust him for a full complement of snaps after missing significant practice time.
