George Kittle News
Thursday, April 30, 11:21 AM
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told ESPN that tight end George Kittle (Achilles) is "shooting to return" Week 1 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams after tearing his Achilles tendon in the playoffs against the Philadelphia Eagles in January, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. It's unclear if Kittle is actually on track to be ready for the season opener, but it's where he's aiming. Kittle suffered a clean tear of his Achilles, which is expected to allow him to return quicker than usual for someone with a torn Achilles. While Kittle is hoping to be ready for Week 1, there's still a good chance he won't be ready for the start of the 2026 season, which will make him a pretty risky and volatile high-end TE1 target in fantasy football drafts. If Kittle is not ready to go by Week 1, Jake Tonges will be in play as a streaming option at the position early on. The 32-year-old Kittle only played in 11 games last year due to injuries and finished as the TE13 in half-PPR scoring. When healthy, he's been one of the top TEs in the league, though, catching at least six touchdown passes in five straight seasons.

Dallas Goedert News
Monday, April 27, 5:13 AM
Tight end rooms around the league were shaken up when nine tight ends were selected within the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, and one of the incumbents who will now have to fend off rookie competition is the Philadelphia Eagles' Dallas Goedert. The Eagles spent the 54th overall pick on Vanderbilt prospect Eli Stowers, making him the second tight end selected in a loaded class. The nine-year veteran Goedert finished 2025 with 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 60 receptions but will need to reestablish himself among a completely reworked group of pass catchers. With the team expected to trade away A.J. Brown on or shortly after June 1st, Philadelphia added Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks through free agency and trade before spending a first-round pick on USC wide receiver Makai Lemon and a second on Stowers. The good news for the 2018 second-round pick is that with Stowers profiling more as a jumbo slot than a traditional Y-tight end, none of the new additions truly threaten Goedert's existing role. After re-upping on his own one-year deal this offseason, Goedert could still see more involvement than Philadelphia's most recent moves would suggest, making him a short-term bargain for depth-seeking dynasty managers at RotoBaller's TE22.
