On a night where Brian Hoyer attempted 37 passes, Kittle's 3 targets were seventh on the team. Despite some preseason hype, the fifth-round rookie is unlikely to see enough volume to factor into the fantasy conversation while the rest of the 49ers' pass-catchers are healthy and active.

Per numberFire Live, Kittle finished with 0.26 Reception Net Expected Points in Week 3, meaning a league average tight end would have scored 0.26 fewer points than he did if put in similar situations. His 1.3 FanDuel points versus the Rams fell short of what our models expected (5.4).
