George Kittle News
Thursday, September 10, 9:50 AM
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) beat the usual recovery timeline for the Achilles tear he suffered in January and will be active for the team's season opener on Thursday night. Despite being limited in practices this week, he carries no injury designation heading into the Week 1 matchup against the Rams in Melbourne. In Kittle's only game against Los Angeles in 2025, he caught nine passes for 84 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy managers should not expect the same production for Week 1, as the tight end can be expected to be on a pitch count, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. With the additions to the 49ers' receiving room in Mike Evans, De'Zhaun Stribling, and Deebo Samuel Sr., Brock Purdy has plenty of options to throw to. Kittle ranks as RotoBaller's TE8 this week, but his usual ceiling will be hard to reach in light of the circumstances around him.

Greg Dulcich News
Saturday, September 12, 4:34 AM
Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich has the potential to develop into a top target in his team's passing game this season. With new QB Malik Willis expected to lead a run-heavy and conservative offense, Dulcich is expected to be the team's top pass-catching tight end. The team could also rotate rookies Will Kacmarek, Seydou Traore, and Justin Joly in what could be an interesting timeshare to monitor. Dulcich had 26 catches for 335 yards and a touchdown while playing 10 games for the Dolphins last year. He's the lone veteran in the tight end room coming into the year, and even though he has the potential to fill a growing role, he's a very high-risk start in Week 1, despite a favorable matchup against the Raiders in Las Vegas. Dulcich is the No. 30 TE in RotoBaller's Week 1 rankings, so even though he has sleeper potential, it's best to see how the timeshare works out before using any of the Dolphins' tight ends for fantasy.
