George Kittle "On Track" for Week 1 Return

Thursday, June 4, 12:27 PM

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) said he is "on track" to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, per ESPN's Nick Wagoner. Kittle tore his Achilles tendon on January 11 during San Francisco's NFC Wild Card round win over the Philadelphia Eagles. However, it appears as though the 32-year-old has a chance to get back on the field roughly eight months after the injury. Kittle battled through an injury-marred 2025 regular season even before the Achilles tear, missing six games due to ankle and hamstring injuries. However, the veteran tight end remained highly productive when healthy, recording 57 receptions for 628 yards and seven touchdowns on 69 targets. With Kittle coming off a serious injury and entering his age-33 campaign, it's fair to project a bit of decline in his production. Still, he profiles as a top-12 fantasy tight end if he can truly make it back for the start of 2026.

Mark Andrews News

Should Dynasty Managers Hold Mark Andrews Until Midseason?

Monday, May 4, 7:57 AM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews entered this offseason as an intriguing player to target in dynasty fantasy leagues, but now, he's more of a "hold." Just two months ago, the Ravens let Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar depart in free agency, leaving Andrews atop an otherwise barren tight end depth chart. With the Ravens intent on throwing the ball more, it seemed like the veteran tight end could be due for a bounce-back year. That still should be true, but the Ravens' draft process complicates Andrews' long-term outlook. The team traded up to select SMU's Matthew Hibner, who could be the tight end of the future in Baltimore. He won't have a large role right away, but there's a chance that he could eventually become the Ravens' No. 1 tight end, especially since Andrews is in his thirties. Dynasty managers would be wise to hold Andrews for now, and then sell high on him when he strings together a few big weeks during the regular season. After all, he has fallen to TE17 in the latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.
