George Kittle Played Injured Last Season
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle never truly got over his calf injury that forced him to miss time. The three-time Pro Bowl tight end was forced to miss three games due to a lingering calf issue. He returned, but his receiving production took a decline after the injury. It was mentioned that Kittle was laboring at times during the playoffs. That makes sense now because Kittle never truly recovered from his calf injury. Honestly, his health has been the only thing holding him back throughout his career. It'll be interesting to see how Kittle adjusts to new run-first quarterback Trey Lance. Fantasy managers should expect Kittle to remain successful, assuming he's actually fully healthy heading into the 2022 campaign.
