Why It Matters: In a game where most things went
right for the 49ers, Kittle struggled with just two catches for 12 yards. Don't overreact. It was a testament to Kittle's dedication that he was even active in Week 1 after suffering a torn Achilles in January. He got some reps in and didn't suffer a setback. Now he'll get a few extra days to rest up before Week 2. You might want to continue holding him out until he has a breakthrough performance, but if you lack appealing alternatives you can justify rolling the dice on Kittle versus the Dolphins next weekend.
