Now, if he's active, will he play a full-time role for the 49ers? I doubt it, but he could still easily have a 50-60% snap rate and be heavily involved when they are passing and around the goal line.
STACKED’s take
Kittle likely limited to 50-60% snaps Week 1; elite when on field but tough matchup.
Kittle appears ready for Week 1, but the source doubts he'll play a full-time role; he could have a 50-60% snap rate and be heavily involved in passing and goal-line situations. When on the field last year, Kittle showed no signs of slowing down: among 54 qualifying tight ends, he ranked fourth in target share (20%) and yards per route run (2.30), third in receiving yards per game (57.1) and first-read share (24.3%), and second in first downs per route run (0.139). Kittle could have an amazing 2026 season, but the source is willing to sit him in Week 1 due to playing time concerns and a tough matchup. The Rams allowed the third-fewest yards per target and seventh-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends.
