Steelers' MyCole Pruitt: Held to nine yards in Week 1
Rotowire
Pruitt secured one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.
Pruitt was on the field for 59 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, more than fellow reserve tight end Darnell Washington. Pruitt also had one more target than Washington, but both tight ends will likely have limited work in the passing game behind starter Pat Freiermuth this season. Pruitt secured nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown while appearing in all 17 games with Atlanta last year, and he'll likely struggle to have a fantasy-relevant role once again in 2024.

Falcons' MyCole Pruitt: Records two catches in loss
Rotowire
Pruitt played 21 of 72 snaps on offense and finished with two catches for 15 yards on two targets in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Buccaneers.
Pruitt fumbled after reeling in a six-yard reception in the second quarter, but fortunately for the Falcons, the football bounced out of bounds to allow Atlanta to maintain possession. The coaching staff didn't penalize Pruitt for the mistake, as he went on to haul in another target in the fourth quarter to extend a drive that culminated in a Bijan Robinson touchdown run. Even while Kyle Pitts and Jonnu Smith have been available for every game this season, Pruitt has managed to maintain a steady role on offense as the team's No. 3 tight end. Pruitt has played no fewer than 16 snaps on offense in any of his 13 appearances and has produced a 7-79-1 receiving line on 10 targets.
