• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to start

  9H ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Pitts has scored at least 15 PPR points in three games in a row, including a monster outing in Week 15 at Tampa Bay with 45.6 points. We'll see if Drake London (knee) returns in Week 16 at Arizona after missing the past four games, but Pitts will remain a starter in all leagues even when London is healthy. The Cardinals are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and four guys in the past five games have scored at least 12.2 PPR points against Arizona. If London is out again, then I like Pitts as a top-three Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Signature performance in upset win

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts brought in 11 of 12 targets for 166 yards and three touchdowns in the Falcons' 29-28 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday. The oft-maligned tight end delivered exactly the type of performance that many assumed would be his standard following his selection with the fourth overall pick back in the 2021 Draft. Pitts set new single-game career highs with all three components of his receiving line, and he recorded his touchdown grabs from eight, 17 and seven yards out. He spectacularly snapped a nine-game TD drought in the process, and after topping out at 70 receiving yards over his first 11 games, the fifth-year pro has now recorded at least 82 such yards in three consecutive contests. Pitts will try to put together a fitting encore against the Cardinals when the Falcons pay a visit to Arizona for a Week 16 matchup on Sunday, Dec. 21.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Suiting up Thursday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts (knee) is listed as active Thursday at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Pitts closed Week 15 prep as questionable to play after being listed as limited on all three practice reports due to a knee injury. It won't stop him from suiting up Thursday, though, and with WR Drake London (knee) missing a fourth game in a row, Pitts is in line to serve as one of the top pass catchers for QB Kirk Cousins. On the first three occasions, Pitts recorded a cumulative 15-197-0 line on 23 targets.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: TEs to start

  7D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Drake London (knee) is out again for the Falcons in Week 15 at Tampa Bay, and that should allow Pitts to be the top pass catcher for Atlanta once again. He's played four games without London this season, and Pitts has scored at least 14.9 PPR points in three of them, including two in a row against the Jets and Seahawks. In those two games, Pitts has 13 catches for 172 yards on 18 targets. He also did well against the Buccaneers in Week 1 with seven catches for 59 yards on eight targets, and Pitts has scored at least 12.9 PPR points in four games in a row against Tampa Bay going back to 2023, with three touchdowns over that span.

• Falcons' Kyle Pitts: Questionable for Thursday

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Pitts (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Pitts has been listed as limited on all three Week 15 practice reports due to a knee injury, leaving his status up in the air for Thursday. During Drake London's (knee) current three-game absence that is extending to four contests this week, Pitts has been more active in the passing game, with a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets during that span. Assuming Pitts is able to suit up, he'll remain a key target for QB Kirk Cousins.
