Outlook George Kittle
Achilles Recovery and Shifting Market Price Create a Sensational Draft-Day Discount
George Kittle is rehabbing from a January Achilles tear, with June reports confirming he is running at 16 mph and targeting a Week 1 return. As the unquestioned lead tight end under Kyle Shanahan, he remains a vital passing target for Brock Purdy alongside Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall, especially with Brandon Aiyuk currently away from the team.
The market is acting cautiously, with his ADP settling around pick 106 after brief volatility in June. In PPR leagues, this deflated price tag transforms him into a massive value. Our projections expect Kittle to haul in 63 receptions for 728 yards and six touchdowns, proving that our models view his current market price as a primary draft-day steal.
At nearly 33 years old, Kittle's physical dominance keeps his weekly ceiling high ahead of backup Jake Tonges. While Christian McCaffrey handles plenty of touches, Kittle’s red-zone efficiency secures his status as a high-end option. Draft him with confidence at this discounted ADP, keeping a close eye on his final week-one clearance.

Outlook Travis Kelce
Elite Tight End Value at a Significant Draft-Day Discount
At nearly 37 years old, Travis Kelce remains the undisputed top tight end for Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. While his explosive 1,000-yard campaigns are likely in the past, he remains a highly reliable security blanket, coming off a strong 80-catch, 894-yard season.
Sharing the field with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy keeps defenses honest, allowing Kelce to find space in the middle. Our models project him for 73 receptions, 768 yards, and five touchdowns, keeping him well ahead of backups Noah Gray and Jared Wiley.
Kelce's ADP has settled around a highly reasonable 109 after spiking earlier in the summer. In 1.0 PPR formats, this late-round price represents an exceptional value, as his projected target volume offers a robust floor that vastly outperforms his sliding market cost.
