George Kittle News
Saturday, July 25, 10:46 AM
The San Francisco 49ers placed tight end George Kittle (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday for the start of training camp, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Kittle is not ready to join the rest of his teammates for the start of camp after suffering a torn right Achilles tendon in the wild-card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles back in January. He is optimistic that he will be ready for the Week 1 regular-season opener in Australia against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, but fantasy managers shouldn't be nearly as optimistic. The 49ers can activate Kittle from the PUP list at any time this summer. If the 32-year-old veteran is not ready for the beginning of the 2026 season, Jake Tonges will step in as the team's top pass-catching TE. Kittle, a seven-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro, is a risk/reward low-end TE1 target as he heads into his 10th year in the NFL. He'd be a massive value at the position if he returns to his pre-injury form, but the odds are against that, and he could miss the first couple of weeks of the 2026 season.

Mark Andrews News
Tuesday, July 21, 11:27 AM
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 48 catches for 422 yards and five touchdowns on 70 targets across 17 games. The three-time Pro-Bowler averaged his fewest targets per game (4.1) since 2018, and his average of 6.0 receiving yards per target was the worst of his career by a significant margin. As he enters his age-31 season with 121 career games of NFL mileage on his body, Andrews may simply be done as a high-level fantasy contributor. However, Baltimore lost tight end Isaiah Likely to the New York Giants in free agency, leaving Andrews as the Ravens' clear TE1 going into 2026. Baltimore could also open up its passing game a bit more under new play-caller Declan Doyle, and the team lacks an obvious number two option in the passing game behind star wideout Zay Flowers. His profile is not without risk, but Andrews could be a value selection at his current redraft ADP of TE15.
