Achilles injury recovery too risky; avoid despite Hall of Fame talent.
George KittleTE
Kittle suffered an Achilles injury last year with atypical recovery. Despite being a Hall of Famer who has defied father time, Schefter is avoiding him in fantasy despite rooting for his return, preferring to go younger and healthier at tight end given the depth of the position and the risk of gambling on a player coming off a major injury. The question of whether Kittle's 'depressed cost' to acquire makes him an attractive target is tempered by his 'advanced age and the injury comeback' concerns.

How about George KD? Are you into the depressed cost uh to that it would take to acquire George or does the advanced age and the injury comeback worry you a little bit?... the thing about the tight end class is like I'm rooting for George KD to come back, but in fantasy, I'm probably looking elsewhere for tight ends... I'm probably not going to gamble on a guy coming off a major injury as great as George KD is.
