Sharp highlighted, “I think one of the things I’m going for this week with the props are, how many outs can I have? I want to maximize the number of outs that I’ve got.” This approach is particularly relevant when assessing Kittle’s prospects. Sharp noted, “It obviously benefits him if Deebo Samuel is not playing this entire game or does not play at all. I do think Kittle is probably going to have a lot of success for a number of reasons.”

One key factor is Kittle’s prominence in the 49ers’ offensive strategy. “Number one, he leads the team in receiving touchdowns. If Samuel is off the field, he’s got four, nobody else has more than two. They target him at the highest rate of any player when Deebo is off the field, even higher than Brandon Aiyuk.” This statistic alone makes a strong case for betting on Kittle’s performance.

Sharp also pointed out the matchup advantages against the Detroit Lions. “We still have a defense in the Detroit Lions that is terrible. Bottom 10, defending tight ends,” he said. This weakness in the Lions’ defense could be a significant factor in favor of Kittle.

Regarding the overall game strategy, Sharp believes in the 49ers’ reliance on their quarterback. “I think the team is going to lean into Brock Purdy. I think they’re going to trust Purdy here.” This trust in Purdy could translate into more passing attempts, benefiting Kittle.
