  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Start

    Pitts is hot right now, having scored at least 10 PPR points in four games in a row, including the past two outings with at least 13.5 PPR points. It's fun to see him finally living up to the hype, and hopefully he stays hot against Dallas. The Cowboys have allowed four touchdowns to tight ends in their past three games, and four guys have scored at least 10.3 PPR points over that span. I like Pitts as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Two touchdown grabs in win

    Pitts secured four of five targets for 91 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons' 31-26 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. Pitts finished just a catch and yard short of team leader Darnell Mooney, and the talented tight end continued to generate the type of production befitting his vast skill set. Pitts struck from 36 and 49 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, with Antoine Winfield stripping the ball from a a relaxed Pitts just after the latter had broken the plane of the goal line. The 2021 first-round pick's yardage tally was a new season high, and he's now been at 65 yards or more in four consecutive contests heading into a Week 9 home battle against the Cowboys.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Rips off big gain in win

    Pitts had three receptions on five targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Panthers. Pitts did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception that wound up being the longest play of the game. Atlanta's rushing attack finished off most of Sunday's offensive drives, so the improving tight end remains scoreless since his Week 1 touchdown against Pittsburgh. Pitts has strung together a pair of solid receiving lines since getting shut out in Week 4, restoring faith in fantasy managers ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Seahawks.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Start

    Let's hope what Pitts did in Week 5 against Tampa Bay is a sign of things to come. He had seven catches for 88 yards on eight targets, and he scored a season-high 15.8 PPR points. It's actually the second time in five games that he's scored at least 11.6 PPR points, and I'm hopeful this is the start of his breakout campaign. The Panthers have allowed two touchdowns to tight ends this season and are No. 6 in most Fantasy points allowed to the position, so hopefully Kirk Cousins gives Pitts enough chances to succeed in this plus matchup.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Bounce-back effort in OT win

    Pitts brought in seven of eight targets for 88 yards in the Falcons' 36-30 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night. Pitts finished third in receptions and receiving yards on a prolific passing night for the Falcons offense, generating a receiving line that also served as a season-best one across the board. Much like teammate Bijan Robinson, another player with a rich skill set that transcends his position, Pitts' usage has been the subject of much consternation by team fans and fantasy managers alike. Thursday night's numbers was therefore highly encouraging, but whether it will have any long-term carryover is a question that will begin to be answered in a Week 6 road divisional clash with the Panthers on Sunday, Oct. 13.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)

    Pitts just had no catches on three targets in Week 4 against New Orleans, and that didn't bother coach Raheem Morris one bit. "It was just about going out there and winning the game," Morris said when asked about Pitts' zero-catch game. "Really, for me, man, stats are for losers, man. I don't get involved in that stuff." That's no fun, and it's hard to trust Pitts, who scored 11.6 PPR points in Week 1 but combined for 12.9 PPR points in his past three games. Tampa Bay has yet to allow a tight end to score a touchdown this year, and Pitts should be considered a low-end starter at best in the majority of leagues.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Blanked against New Orleans

    Pitts failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints. It was another poor showing for the tight end, who has managed just a 5-79-0 line on 12 targets over the last three games. Pitts' struggles have mirrored those of Kirk Cousins, who has yet to have a breakout performance for his new club. Even if the veteran QB does begin to put up better numbers though, he seems to have a better rapport with wideouts like Darnell Mooney than he does with Pitts. The fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft will try to shake off his malaise in Week 5 against the Buccaneers.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Makes most of two receptions

    Pitts brought in two of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs. Pitts did most of his damage on a 50-yard reception that did not result in a touchdown in Sunday's narrow loss. The 2021 first-round pick has produced 105 yards and one touchdown off of eight receptions through three weeks. Better days should be ahead for the athletic tight end now that a proven arm like Kirk Cousins is delivering him the football compared to recent Falcons signal-callers. That said, Pitts' production to date will result in a mid-level rating heading into another tough defensive matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Start

    Pitts is due for a big game, and this is a great matchup for it to happen against the Chiefs. Kansas City is No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Isaiah Likely and Mike Gesicki each scored at least 16.1 PPR points against the Chiefs in two games. Pitts does have a touchdown in two games this year, but he only has six catches for 46 yards on seven targets to go with it. Hopefully, Pitts will have his breakout game in Week 3 against Kansas City.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Another quiet effort Monday

    Pitts secured three of four targets for 20 yards in the Falcons' 22-21 win over the Eagles on Monday night. Pitts did have a key 11-yard reception, his longest of the night, to open the Falcons' game-winning drive, but his fantasy production was undeniably disappointing. Through two games, Pitts' fantasy managers have to be somewhat worried about a reprisal of his last two lackluster campaigns, but it's also fair to note Kirk Cousins still is developing chemistry with all his pass catchers, and the offense as a whole is adapting to Zac Robinson's scheme. Pitts will aim to be more involved in a Week 3 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday night.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Cleared for Sunday

    Pitts (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Pitts was limited Wednesday before resuming full practice participation Thursday and Friday. He should be ready for a full workload in his first game with QB Kirk Cousins and offensive coordinator Zac Robinson -- a duo that many expect to propel Pitts to a breakout season.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Gets back to full practice Thursday

    Pitts (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday. One day removed from showing up on the Falcons' initial Week 1 injury report as limited due to a hamstring issue, Pitts handled every practice rep Thursday, following up his own comment from Wednesday that he'd be 100 percent for Sunday's contest against the Steelers, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Pitts has a new context heading into 2024 with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins on board, which may allow the fourth-year tight end to tap into the talent that resulted in a huge rookie receiving line (68-1,026-1 on 110 targets in 17 regular-season games) in the 2021 campaign.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Among starters held out Friday

    Pitts is listed among starters the Falcons announced are not expected to suit up for Friday's road preseason matchup against Miami, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Pitts, who had his 2025 fifth-year option exercised by Atlanta earlier this offseason, stands to sit out Friday's preseason opener along with most of the Falcons' first-team offense and defense. The fourth-year tight end is a popular breakout candidate for the 2024 season due to the arrival of Kirk Cousins under center, in addition to being another year removed from the MCL sprain in his right knee that prematurely ended his 2022 campaign. Pitts' next chance to take the field for preseason action will come Aug. 17 against Baltimore on the road.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Has 2025 option exercised

    The Falcons exercised Pitts' 2025 fifth-year option, Field Yates of ESPN reports. It's a no-brainer move for the Falcons, even if Pitts, the No. 8 overall pick of the 2021 Draft, is coming off back-to-back disappointing seasons after going over 1,000 yards as a rookie. The hope in Atlanta is that the acquisition of Kirk Cousins coupled with the new coaching staff can help maximize Pitts' abilities. Pitts' figures to be a popular 2024 rebound candidate in both real life and fantasy football.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Gets quarterback upgrade

    Pitts looks set to benefit from improved quarterback play in 2024 after Kirk Cousins (Achilles) agreed Monday with Atlanta on a four-year, $180 million contract. Pitts could be the Falcons' skill-position player most primed to benefit from a quarterback upgrade. After beginning his NFL career with a 1,026-yard rookie campaign while paired with a former league MVP in Matt Ryan in 2021, Pitts has since turned in 356- and 667-yard efforts while he's been on the receiving end of passes from Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke, in addition to battling injuries. Even coming off an Achilles' tendon tear, Cousins likely represents the best quarterback that Pitts has played with recently, and the tight end will also have the benefit of coming out of the offseason at full health. He spent considerable time last offseason rehabbing from an MCL sprain, which may have contributed to his slow start to the 2023 season. Along with improved health and the change at quarterback, Pitts should benefit from the departure of fellow tight end Jonnu Smith, a favorite of former head coach Arthur Smith who often poached snaps from Pitts.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Sit

    Pitts had another down game in Week 17 at Chicago with one catch for 5 yards on five targets, and it's tough to trust him in Week 18 at New Orleans. He had two catches for 22 yards on two targets against the Saints in Week 12, and New Orleans has held five of the past six opposing tight ends to 8.0 PPR points or less. Pitts also has just nine catches for 111 yards and no touchdowns in four career games against the Saints.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Finds end zone in win

    Pitts brought in three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 29-10 win over the Colts on Sunday. The talented but often underused tight end was able to put the Falcons on the board for the first time on the afternoon with a 24-yard scoring grab in the first quarter, his second touchdown in the last three games. Pitts' three-catch tally was also his third straight, and he could have a chance at more productive outings over the last two games of the season with Taylor Heinicke now at quarterback in place of the inconsistent Desmond Ridder.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Sit

    In one start with Taylor Heinicke in Week 9 against Minnesota, Pitts had four catches for 56 yards on five targets. We'll see if Heinicke leans on Pitts more in his second stint as the starter for the Falcons, but it's still difficult to trust Pitts in the majority of leagues. He only has two touchdowns on the season and one game with more than 60 receiving yards. The Colts have only allowed two receiving touchdowns to tight ends this year, and Pitts should only be started in deeper Fantasy leagues in Week 16.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Sit

    Pitts already faced Tampa Bay in Week 7 and finished that game with three catches for 47 yards on five targets. He comes into Week 14 in the rematch having scored 6.5 PPR points or less in three of his past five outings, and he only has one touchdown this season. There's no reason to trust Pitts in the majority of leagues in Week 14.

  • Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Limited to two catches in win

    Pitts hauled in both targets for 22 yards in the Falcons' 24-15 win over the Saints on Sunday. The talented tight end was once again a virtual afterthought in the air attack, dispelling any hopes that he might have a more expanded role coming out of the team's Week 11 bye. Pitts has topped four receptions just twice all season and last accomplished the feat in Week 5, while the 56 yards he mustered against the Vikings in Week 9 serves as his high-water mark in that category since that contest as well.
