Yahoo Sports NFL on George Kittle

Kittle should exploit Downs' weakness on third-down situations against Dallas's 32nd-ranked defense.

Kittle is positioned to exploit rookie Caleb Downs, who was no match for Trey McBride on a 3rd-and-6 target. The 49ers' offense is top-three in third-down efficiency and red-zone efficiency, and the Cowboys are 32nd in third-down defense and 25th in red-zone defense. Kittle should see opportunities over the middle against a defense that allows 31 yards per game between the numbers (best in the NFL), as teams are terrified to throw there due to Fred Warner's presence.
