Kittle back for Week 1 or 2 after Achilles tear; six of eight seasons as top-five TE.

Kittle will return well before anticipated after rehabbing to be available for Week 1 despite tearing his Achilles during San Francisco's Wild Card game on January 11th. Some remain skeptical the 49ers will hold him out for Week 1 given the team's travel to Australia for the Rams matchup; even in a worst-case scenario of Week 2 return, that is still well ahead of all expectations. Kittle has been a top-five tight end option in six of the last eight seasons, with the two exceptions due to injuries. The source plans to 'gobble up the discount for as long as it lasts,' acknowledging some will shy away due to San Francisco's injury history.
