Kittle led the 49ers in receiving across the board and now has 6-plus catches for at least 70 yards in three of the last four games. The 26-year-old tight end is in line for a huge Week 9 this Thursday night against an Arizona Cardinals defense that has given up the most receptions, yards, and touchdowns to tight ends this season.
