His primary impact of late has been as a blocker for Deebo Samuel but, with the wide receiver out injured, expect George Kittle to have an expanded role against Seattle.
With his success as a wide receiver and as a runner out of the backfield, no player has been more crucial to San Francisco's turnaround than Samuel, who has 305 yards and five touchdowns from scrimmage over the last three weeks.
How will the 49ers account for the loss of that string to their bow? Kittle may be a part of the solution. Though he has a touchdown in three of the last four games, this has been a quiet season by Kittle's standards. But, alongside Samuel, Kittle is the most versatile weapon on the Niners' offense, able to serve both as an extension of the running game with what he can do after the catch and as a dynamic pass catcher on intermediate and deep routes.
