George Kittle to play with limitations in Week 9 return

ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting 49ers TE George Kittle (calf) will be on a "pitch count" in Week 9 return. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle will make his return to the field, but it will be in a limited capacity. Per Schefter, Kittle will be on the proverbial "pitch count" and is only expected to play "roughly half the game." Fantasy managers might be better off fading Kittle this week but keep in mind that he is the type of talent that can still pop while limited. Proceed with caution. If you have a high-quality pivot, you can roll with them. However, if Kittle is projected to have a better outcome than one of the lower-end options, then he is your play.
