Kittle's 21.7% target share shows 49ers' targets already well-distributed.

Kittle receives 21.7% of targets, the second-highest on the team behind Evans. On one play, Kittle collided with Brandin Cooks on a deep crossing route, resulting in a sack. The source uses Kittle's target share as evidence that the 49ers' receiving options are already well-distributed and that adding a receiver like Josh Downs would not significantly increase his volume.
