Both players were top-eight tight ends in my PPR draft rankings, as I have high expectations for both this season. However, the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers will likely limit their star tight ends' snap counts in Week 1. I feel better about starting Kraft than Kittle, especially since he suffered his injury early last season. Neither is a top-eight tight end in my Week 1 rankings, with Kittle falling outside of the top 12.

Kittle outside top-12 in Week 1; snap count limits after prior injury.

Mike Fanelli ranks George Kittle as a top-eight tight end in his PPR draft rankings with high expectations for the season. However, the San Francisco 49ers will likely limit Kittle's snap count in Week 1 following his early-season injury last year. Kittle falls outside the top 12 tight ends in Fanelli's Week 1 rankings, making him a less favorable start than Tucker Kraft.
