George Kittle Could Struggle in Week 1
6 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is expected to play Sunday, after suffering a separated shoulder in Week 1 of the preseason. The second-year tight end is a popular breakout candidate, but fantasy owners would be wise to proceed with caution for his Week 1 matchup against a stellar Minnesota defense. The Vikings shut down opposing tight ends on a regular basis last season, ranking first in the NFL, while allowing just nine points per game to the position. Due to the difficult matchup and his first game back from injury, Kittle should be viewed as a TE2 to start the season.
