Kittle Likely on Snap Count as 49ers Begin Achilles Recovery
TL;DR Summary
George Kittle’s Week 1 return from an Achilles rupture is expected to come with a snap count rather than his usual heavy workload, as he continues to ramp up after surgery. The Athletic’s Matt Barrows labeled a 95-percent snap share unlikely, with the 49ers potentially limiting him in Australia against the Rams. For fantasy managers, Kittle could be a risky low-end TE1 in the opener, best approached with a wait-and-see mindset.
