Who Should I Start? George Kittle or Robby Anderson

Both San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and cornerback Charvarius Ward had core-muscle surgery this offseason and will be back, fully cleared, in time for training camp this summer, according to general manager John Lynch. It's worth noting, but for Kittle's sake, it's probably not going to have any effect on his 2024 fantasy value unless he suffers a setback during offseason training. The 30-year-old former fifth-round selection in 2017 out of Iowa has made the Pro Bowl in five of his seven NFL seasons and led all tight ends with 1,020 receiving yards in 16 regular-season games in 2023 while also catching 65 passes for six touchdowns on 90 targets. Despite undergoing offseason surgery, Kittle should be considered a no-doubt, top-five fantasy tight end this fall.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Robbie Chosen (concussion) was upgraded to limited participation in Thursday's practice after managing no activity on Wednesday. Chosen sustained a concussion in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and hasn't yet cleared each step of the protocol to get in full practice participation. The 30-year-old deep threat has only appeared in seven games for the Dolphins in 2023, catching four of his five passes for 126 yards and one touchdown, but he has a chance for increased playing time with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) looking doubtful to be active on Sunday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Any kind of expanded role is still unlikely to be enough to get Chosen onto the fantasy radar as managers look to take home a title in Week 17, but the Dolphins are going to want as much firepower as they can muster against a high-octane Ravens offense.
