The 49ers have activated George Kittle off the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, and there's a realistic chance he could play Week 1. Even if he does, I do worry about his effectiveness, especially early on. Last season, Kittle suited in fewer than a dozen games as he dealt with a hamstring tear, an ankle sprain and then a torn Achilles.

Kittle's injury history and crowded 49ers offense make him unreliable for early-season starts.

Kittle is activated off PUP and could play Week 1, but Richard Janvrin worries about his effectiveness early on given extensive injury history: hamstring tear, ankle sprain, and torn Achilles limited him to fewer than a dozen games last season. The 49ers' crowded offense—Christian McCaffrey, Ricky Pearsall, Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and De'Zhaun Stribling—creates target competition. Janvrin rates him as a late-round target only, not a potential Week 1 starter.
