A better game for Garoppolo probably means more productivity in the air for Kittle. The tight end caught three balls for 16 yards vs. the Vikings, but Minnesota is far more equipped to stop tight ends than Green Bay. San Francisco’s offense typically goes as its tight end goes. If he can work the middle of the field and force the Packers to spend additional resources to slow him down, it unlocks just about anything the 49ers will want to do offensively.
