Kittle is back to cooking. He had a few whip routes underneath that resulted in a missed tackle or two, then had two awesome scores in the red area on great designs. Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy are at the very top of their game, and the 49ers are suddenly relying on Kittle way earlier than expected due to injuries to Mike Evans (ribs), De'Zhaun Stribling (ankle), Demarcus Robinson (ankle), Jake Tonges and others. Kittle is the TE5 on TE10 usage this season, with back-to-back games inside the top six at the position.
