George Kittle News
Sunday, August 23, 9:19 AM
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle took another important step toward a possible Week 1 return on Sunday. The 49ers activated Kittle from the active/PUP list, according to Adam Schefter, clearing him to practice as he continues working back from the torn right Achilles he suffered in January. Kittle underwent surgery three days after the injury and has spent training camp doing rehab work on the side. His activation also means he will not be moved to reserve/PUP, which would have required him to miss at least the first four games. Kittle caught 57 passes for 628 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games last season, so his return would immediately matter for fantasy managers. He has been ahead of schedule in his rehab and still has a legitimate chance to play against the Rams in Australia. That isn't guaranteed yet, but getting back onto the practice field puts him much closer.

Kenyon Sadiq News
Tuesday, August 18, 7:05 AM
New York Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) is trending toward being available for the regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans, head coach Aaron Glenn told Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. "The goal has always been getting those guys ready for Week 1," Glenn said in reference to Sadiq and fellow rookie D'Angelo Ponds. Sadiq, who was selected 16th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, suffered a setback in early August and was reportedly seen working on a side field on Tuesday. He projects to be the Jets' No. 1 tight end for this season and beyond, but given that he has missed a large portion of training camp, he could initially open the year as the backup to Mason Taylor. Nevertheless, there's plenty of upside behind drafting Sadiq in all leagues. RotoBaller's experts rank him as the TE28 in redraft leagues and the TE9 in dynasty leagues.
