George Kittle: limited in Wednesday practice with Achilles injury

THE FACT. San Francisco tight end George Kittle was limited in Wednesday's practice with an Achilles injury, per the 49ers' Week 2 injury report, as he keeps ramping up from the Achilles tear he suffered in January. Yahoo Sports reported he was on the field for roughly 46 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1.
THE VERDICT. Limited is the expected rung on this ladder rather than a setback. The snap share matters more than the practice tag here, and a part-time Kittle is a low-end TE1, not the every-down weapon you drafted. Redraft: start him, but temper the ceiling until the workload climbs. DFS: fade in cash games at his price while the snaps are capped. Dynasty: no reason to move him.
