Kittle (calf), who was activated from injured reserve Saturday, is expected to be on a "pitch count" Sunday against the Cardinals and play roughly half of the game, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Though Kittle should slot back in ahead of Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley atop the 49ers' depth chart at tight end, his expected playing-time restrictions could suppress his Week 9 fantasy value. Through his first four outings before landing on IR, Kittle recorded 19 receptions for 227 yards and no touchdowns on 28 targets.
