49ers | George Kittle impressive during spring
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle was ‘one of the standouts of minicamp’ and has ‘shown flashes of being a quality find’ in the draft, according to 49ers.com’s Joe Fann.
49ers | GM John Lynch gushing about rookie TE George Kittle
Kevin Jones, from KNBR.com, reports San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch was gushing about rookie TE George Kittle in a recent interview. “One thing you have to be able to do, when you’re down near the red zone and everything tightens up, you have guys who man-on-man can just beat the guy in front of him.” Lynch said. “We feel like George Kittle maybe gives us something where he is that guy, in a one-on-one situation you can flex him out, put him in the middle of the field and he can kind of impose his will and just out-athlete people. That has been extremely positive. We thought that coming in, but he probably exceeded our expectations.”
Footballguys View: Another day and another positive report about Kittle. It’s a drumbeat we just can’t ignore. Kittle will begin the season behind Vance McDonald on the depth chart. A fifth-round pick out of Iowa in 2017, Kittle has the speed/athleticism combination to challenge a defense on all three levels. We love these reports for dynasty leagues, but Kittle is unlikely to have much value for redraft fantasy owners.

Saints | QB says Terron Armstead injury big blow
New Orleans Saints OT Terron Armstead’s (shoulder) shoulder injury is a big blow for the 2017 season, according to QB Drew Brees.
Footballguys View: Brees ain’t lying….it’s a gut punch to lose your starting left tackle before the season begins. Silver lining (not much of one but still)? The team selected Ryan Ramczyk in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft to be a an eventual starter at the position. He’s recovering from offseason hip surgery, but Ramczyk should be ready to participate at some point in training camp.
