STACKED’s take

Positive signalMatchup

Kittle faces favorable linebacker matchups in Week 1; needs elite play vs. Denver.

Against the Rams in Week 1, Kittle should have significantly more room to operate against linebackers Nate Landman and Omar Speights compared to the Rams' elite defensive line. The source projects Kittle will benefit from the 49ers' new downfield passing attack stretching the field and opening up the middle. The source also projects Kittle will need to play out of his mind against Denver in Week 4, with a 100-yard receiving game similar to Zach Ertz's performance last year. The source is optimistic on Kittle's comeback health.
