• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Minimal production in loss

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Pitts caught two of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Panthers. Pitts finished the 2024 campaign with a quiet day against Carolina. The 24-year-old tight end was mostly a disappointment for fantasy managers this season, totaling just 47 catches on 74 targets for 602 yards and four touchdowns. Pitts will remain under contract with Atlanta in 2025, as the Falcons exercised the $10.88 million team option on his rookie contract last April. The Florida product will look to turn things around in a contract year next season, and he'll likely be catching passes from Michael Penix at quarterback with Kirk Cousins expected to be cut in the offseason.

  12/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Pitts caught four of five targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to Washington. Pitts turned in a rare strong fantasy line in Sunday's overtime loss. The underwhelming 2021 first-round pick upped his season marks to 49 receptions, 631 receiving yards and five touchdowns as Week 17 nears a close. Pitts has been a barometer for inconsistency in his four years in the league, making for a risky play as the Falcons prepare to host the Panthers next Sunday.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: One catch in win

  12/25/2024 • By RotoWire

  Pitts caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Giants. Pitts continued his underwhelming 2024 campaign, with his seven-yard catch representing his lowest yardage total of the season aside from goose eggs in Weeks 4 and 13. The other target Pitts received on the day ended in disaster, as he was unable to corral a Michael Penix inside the Giants' five-yard line and ended up tipping the ball into the hands of cornerback Cor'Dale Flott for an interception. Over his last five contests, Pitts has produced a woeful 7-58-0 receiving line on 17 targets.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to Sit

  12/25/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Pitts dropped what could have been the first NFL touchdown for Michael Penix Jr. in Week 16 against the Giants, and it ended up as an interception at the goal line. He finished the game with one catch for 7 yards, and you can't start Pitts with any confidence in Week 17 at Washington. He's now gone five games in a row with 6.8 PPR points or less, and he hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 8. Maybe Penix can bring out the best in Pitts, but until we see it, he should remain on the bench in most Fantasy leagues.

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

  12/17/2024 • 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.
