• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Team-high catch tally Monday

  7H ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts secured all four targets for 28 yards in the Falcons' 15-9 win over the Raiders on Monday night. The struggling tight end saw a welcome uptick in involvement, even as that came accompanied with a modest receiving yardage total. Pitts' catch and target totals were both team-high figures, and both the reception and yardage tallies also were his best since Week 10. Pitts will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 16 home matchup against the Giants.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Minimal production on six targets

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts caught one of six targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Vikings. Pitts was a respectable play during the first half of the season, posting 34 receptions (on 49 targets) for 485 yards and three touchdowns across his first 10 appearances. However, over the past four games, Pitts has two receptions (on 11 targets) for 23 yards. During that stretch, QB Kirk Cousins had some solid yardage totals, but he threw eight INTs and zero TDs. Despite that horrid stretch, the Falcons aren't planning on making a change at QB, even though rookie Michael Penix has looked good in limited action.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Sit

  13D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Pitts is struggling coming into Week 14 at Minnesota, and he's not worth trusting in the majority of leagues. He has scored 9.5 PPR points or less in four games in a row and has five targets in his past two outings with one catch for 9 yards. The Vikings have not allowed a tight end to score a touchdown since Week 4, and Pitts only has two games with a touchdown this season, including none since Week 8. Pitts is only worth starting in the deepest of leagues.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Does nothing with two targets

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts didn't record a catch on two targets during Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers. Pitts was held without a catch for the second time this season, and over the last four games, he has totaled six receptions on 12 targets for 75 yards. From Weeks 5 to 8, the tight end caught 21 of 27 targets for 314 yards and two touchdowns. However, that stretch is starting to look like an outlier compared to the rest of his season -- 14 catches on 27 targets for 180 yards and a TD across his other eight appearances. It's worth noting Kirk Cousins had his worst game of the season against the Chargers, throwing four interceptions and zero touchdowns, so a bounce-back effort from the veteran QB could mean better production from Pitts moving forward.

  Pitts comes into Week 13 having scored 9.5 PPR points or less in three games in a row, including two games over that span with 2.1 PPR points or less. He has one game with a touchdown since Week 1, and this is a tough matchup for him in Week 13 against the Chargers. Mark Andrews in Week 12 is the lone tight end to score a touchdown against the Chargers this season, and Pitts should be considered a low-end starter at best in the majority of leagues.
