Who Should I Start? Tim Boyle or George Kittle

The Houston Texans signed former New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle to their practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source. The Texans made the move to add Boyle as QB depth after working him out earlier in the day. Boyle comes to Houston as more depth at the QB position behind veteran Case Keenum and Davis Mills after rookie first-rounder C.J. Stroud missed last week's overtime win over the Tennessee Titans due to a concussion. It's unlikely the 29-year-old will see the field for the Texans the rest of this season. Boyle played in three games (two starts) for the Jets this year before getting cut, going 48-for-77 for 360 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions.

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.
