San Francisco welcomes Arizona with Kittle second among tight ends in PFN’s Week 3 rankings, even though his snap percentage has hovered around 50% in both games. He ran 14 routes against the Dolphins and cashed in when a horrible defense left a star wide open in the end zone, and this Cardinals defense does not profile much differently.
