From the episode
George Kittle coming back from the torn Achilles, who I'm, you know, a little bit iffy about right now in that return timetable... I had a Dr. Jesse Morris, who's a sports physician on my channel a few days ago. And he had some major concerns with George Kittle, basically looking at some of the video footage that's been going around Twitter and showing George Kittle running and timeline and all this kind of stuff. And he's extremely hesitant on, on George Kittle for this year.
STACKED’s take
Torn Achilles recovery concerns; medical hesitation; ADP 104 value.
Returning from torn Achilles with significant uncertainty around effectiveness and return timetable; sports physician Dr. Jesse Morris reviewed video footage of Kittle's running and timeline post-Achilles injury and had major concerns about whether Kittle can return to his previous form, leaving the source hesitant on Kittle for this year; will compete with Christian McCaffrey and Mike Evans for red zone targets in San Francisco offense; likely not the top red zone target earner in the offense upon return; at ADP 104, can be mixed and matched with other tight ends rather than requiring a premium draft investment; however, the source prefers to target top-eight tight ends and avoid paying up for elite production, instead seeking reliable week-to-week performers like Tyler Warren and Tucker Kraft.
