Outlook George Kittle

George Kittle Cleared for Season Opener Against Rams

After tearing his Achilles in January, Kittle completed an improbable recovery and carries no injury designation for the opener against the Rams in Australia. He headlines the tight end group on the depth chart, but team coaches noted they will be smart with his snaps early on. With Christian Kirk out on injured reserve, Kittle remains one of Brock Purdy's most trusted options whenever on the field.

Fantasy managers have responded by pushing his start rate near 47%. Our projection expects approximately 4 receptions for 42 yards in a projected high-scoring contest with a 48-point total. Even if his route count is slightly restricted, his red-zone presence and receiving prowess keep him in the weekly starting conversation across most fantasy formats.
