2023 Receiving Projections
Nearing full speed
Head coach Kirk Ferentz said Thursday that Kittle (leg) has looked close to 100 percent healthy in bowl practices, Marc Morehouse of the Cedar Rapids Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
Kittle was hampered by a leg injury over the last half of the season, and though he caught two touchdowns against Nebraska, it was clear that he still wasn't fully healthy. Now that Kittle has had time off to recover and get treatment, he has gone full speed in practice according to Ferentz. Look for Kittle to be a full go in Iowa's bowl game against Florida.

2016 Fantasy Outlook
Playing behind Henry Krieger-Coble, Kittle (6-4, 235) enjoyed a breakout 2015 despite playing as Iowa's No. 2 tight end. Kreiger-Coble graduated this offseason, though, as did standout receiver Tevaun Smith, setting the stage for a major Kittle breakout campaign. Kittle caught 20 passes for 208 yards and six touchdowns last year, while Krieger-Coble and Smith combined for 67 catches for 968 yards and four touchdowns. There's reason to think Kittle could approach 40 catches in 2016, in which case he'd also be a double-digit TD threat.
