• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Start

  28M ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  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

  2D ago • By RotoWire

  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: Finds end zone in Week 1

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts recorded three receptions on three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers. The distribution of targets in Atlanta was surprising, as Ray-Ray McCloud led the team with seven looks followed by Bijan Robinson. In that context, Pitts had a decent showing that was highlighted by a 12-yard touchdown late in the first half. Pitts has never found the end zone more than three times in a season and hadn't scored earlier than Week 5 entering 2024. Despite the disappointing volume Sunday, Kirk Cousins should elevate the Falcons' offense, in turn improving Pitts' production.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Cleared for Sunday

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  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

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  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.
