Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. hauled in just two passes for 25 scoreless yards in Week 12, but despite the limited production, the 25-year-old is now 2-for-2 in leading the team in targets in the two games this season with Kirk Cousins at the helm. The other commonality in those two contests was that Drake London (knee) was absent, which will again be the case on Sunday against the Jets. While that is a positive for Pitts' prospects this week, the 6-foot-6 tight end has found the end zone just one time this season. The Jets are middle of the pack in terms of yielding fantasy points to opposing tight ends, but this game has one of the lowest expected totals on the slate (39.5) and with a low chance of scoring, the former first-rounder projects as a volume-dependent low-end TE1.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. will get a juicy matchup in Week 13 against a vulnerable New York Jets defense, though he'll again lose a bit of upside with veteran Kirk Cousins calling signals. The former Florida Gator is Atlanta's third-leading receiver in terms of yardage behind wide receiver Drake London (knee) and running back Bijan Robinson. However, Pitts Sr. has seen his opportunity dip in recent weeks while London had gone on a tear. Even London's absence in Week 12 wasn't enough to push the 25-year-old into startable territory, notching his fourth straight outing with a single-digit fantasy total in PPR leagues. With London out again, Pitts Sr. should benefit from an elevated target share, but his production will primarily hinge on Cousins' play. He's a fringey TE1 for his matchup with New York.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded two catches for25 scoreless yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. While the result was disappointing, the silver lining was that with five targets, the 25-year-old led the team in that statistic. The same was true the last time Kirk Cousins was the starter in Week 8 against the Dolphins, a game that Drake London (knee) also missed as he did on Sunday. It's not clear whether or not London will be back in Week 13, but if he were to miss the contest, Pitts could be the frontrunner for targets again, so it will be imperativeto watch the injury reports this week. Cousins may spreadthe ball around a bit more than Michael Penix Jr. did, though, which couldlimit the production of the receiving corps, including Pitts. The 6-foot-6 tight end has just one touchdown on the season, so even fewer targets could push him into TE2 territory for Week 13's matchup with the Jets, a defense that is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had a quiet Week 11 with three targetsand two catches for 38 yards, but could be in line for more work in Week 12 against the Saints. Averagingover six targets, four catches, and 43 yards per game in 2025, the 25-year-old could see a couple more looks with teammate Drake London (knee) ruled out. In Week 8, when London was also absent due to injury, the 6-foot-6 tight end garnered a team-leading nine targets, catching all nine for 59 yards. Kirk Cousins was under center for that game, and will be again in Week 12 with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) out for the rest ofthe season. Pitts was veryvolatilelast season with Cousins as the signal caller, recording one catch or fewer in five contests. The Saints rank near the middle in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, so it's not an overly tough matchup, but there is some uncertainty with how this offense will look with Cousins at quarterback, so the fifth-year pro projects as a low-end TE1 this week.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. logged his second straight two-catch performance in Week 11's 30-27 overtimeloss to the Panthers after catching at leastthree passes in each of his first eight games of the season. It wouldseem his involvement is trending downward, however, wide receiver Drake London (knee) will likely miss Week 12, which could be a boon to his target potential. When London missed Week 8 with an injury, Pitts garnered a team-high nine targets, converting all of them into receptions, albeit for just 59 yards. The other good news is that Kirk Cousins was under center for that contest, and Cousins will again be the starter for the Week 12 road matchup against the Saints. Expectationsshould be tempered, though, as Pitts recorded one catch or fewer in five contests with Cousins at the helm last year. There is a wide range of outcomes for the 6-foot-6 tight end in this week's game, but he will still likelybe a low-end TE1 on Sunday.

AtlantaFalcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is coming off a two-catch performance for 38 scoreless yards in Week 10, but despite that poor outing, the 25-year-old is still averaging over six targets and five catches for 46 yards per game this year. Unfortunately, he's recorded just onetouchdown on the season, but that type of volume could eventually lead to a big week. That could be this week againstthe Panthers, a defense that has yielded the eighth-most half-point PPR points to opposing tight ends thus far, including five touchdowns. Hopefully the 6-foot-6 tight end doesn't drop any passes that could go for big gains like he did last week, and hopefully Michael Penix Jr.'s accuracy improves, but on his typical target volume alone, he projects as a low-end TE1 on Sunday with upside if he can fine the end zone.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. managed just two catches for 38 yards in Week 10's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts, but the stat line doesn't tell the whole story. The 25-year-old was targeted a solid five times in the contest, and one of them could have gone for at least a 20-yard catch and potentially a touchdown, but he simply dropped it; otherwise, it would have been a much more bountiful day. There are no points for almost catching a pass, though, and he disappointingly finished as the 25th-ranked TE for fantasy this week. The two receptions were his lowest output of the season, so hopefully he can rebound from this performance in Week 11, as the 6-foot-6 tight end is still averaging over six targets and five catches per game this year. Week 11 brings a home matchup against Carolina, a defense that has been generous to TEs thus far, even allowing the Tyler Shough-Juwan Johnson connection to register a touchdown in Week 10. With just one touchdown in nine games for Pitts, though, he could be on the verge of being relegated to TE2 territory in Week 11.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is seeing consistent looks in this offense in 2025, averaging over six targets, five catches, and 47 yards per game this season. Unfortunately, it has yet to translate to touchdowns, as the 25-year-old has recorded just one score on the year. That could change this weekend, as Week 10 brings a matchupin Germany against the Colts. Indianapolishas allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game in the NFL over itslast three games (268.7) andhas allowed 24.5 points per game on the road(16.6 PPG at home). Not only that, they've yielded a touchdown pass to a tight end in four consecutive games now. With newly acquired CB Sauce Gardner set to cover Drake London or another receiver, it could open things up more for Pitts, so the 6-foot-6 tight end projects as a top 10 option at the position this week.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew another seven targets in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, converting them into four catches for 38 yards. While his continued involvement in the passing attack has been a welcome change compared to the underwhelming production of the past few seasons, it hasn't amounted to much for fantasy, as the 25-year-old has just a single touchdown on the season. Also, althoughhe's on pace for 91 receptions, which would obliterate his previous career high of 68, the 6-foot-6 tight end is pacing for 812 yards, which would be more than last season's 602 yards but would fall well short of his career high of 1,026 that was set in his rookie season of 2021. Still, with two more red zone targets this past Sunday, the fifth-year pro could be on the verge of his big breakout performance of 2025, and he'll get a favorable matchup against the Colts in Germany this week versus a defense that's yielded a touchdown to an opposing tight end for four straight weeks now.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has played a consistent role in this offense all season, and last week he led the way with top receiver Drake London (hip) out with an injury, reeling in all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins, albeit for 59 scoreless yards. Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and London will be back on the field for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, but of all the positions on offense for fantasy, the matchup withNew England favors the tight end the most. The Pats have yielded the fifth-most half-point PPR points to TEs thus far, with Cleveland's TEs combining for 10 catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns just last week in Foxborough. While that bodes well for Pitts, he's got just one touchdown all season, so he'll likely have to rely on volume as the 6-foot-6 TE averagesover six targets and five receptions per game. It all leaves the 25-year-old as a low-end TE1 with upside in Week 9.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (ankle) doesn't carry any injury designation into Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. Pitts was limited the first two days of practice due to a minor ankle issue. However, Pitts was upgraded to a full participant on Friday and is ready to go for this weekend. The 25-year-old has been heavily involved over the last few weeks. He has 19 targets over the last two games, but could lose some steam with wide receiver Drake London returning this weekend. Despite that, Pitts should still be a playable option for Week 9.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is a new injury for Pitts who played 92 percent of the offensive snaps during last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins. During that game, Pitts hauled in all nine of his targets for 59 yards. This limited session sounds like the Falcons are just being cautious with the 25-year-old tight end. Barring any setbacks, Pitts should be out there for the Week 9 matchup against the New England Patriots. Pitts has hauled in 16 receptions for 121 yards over his last two games. There's TE1 value here especially if Drake London (hip) misses another game.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. benefitted from receiver Drake London's (hip) absence in the Week 8 upset loss to the Miami Dolphins, catching all nine of his targets from quarterback Kirk Cousins for 59 yards. "He's going out there and executing at a very high level," head coach Raheem Morris said. Although Pitts has scored just once so far in 2025, the 25-year-old former fourth overall pick has been more involved this year under offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, catching 39 of his 47 targets for 344 yards through seven games. Those numbers have made him the TE13 in half-PPR scoring through eight weeks. London's potential return in Week 9 against the New England Patriots could put a damper on Pitts' overall fantasy upside this weekend, but he has proven to be a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 every week so far in 2025.

AtlantaFalcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. was the lone bright spot on offense during theteam's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, reeling in all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins, albeit for just 59 scoreless yards. With No. 1 receiver Drake London (hip) out, the 25-year-old was able to gobble up looks, with no other pass-catcher tallying more than three receptions on the day. While the absence of both London and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) led to some unexpected results in this contest, Pitts has at least shown that he has a role in this offense regardless of the personnel around him, and it appears he can be trusted to be in the TE1 conversation most weeks based on volume alone. He's registered just three red zone targets all season, but that is only two fewer than London, so he's not far down in the pecking order when they get in close. The fifth-year pro has several tight-end-friendly matchups in the coming weeks that should hopefully translate to some touchdowns, and he'll take on the Patriots in Week 9, a defense that allowed 10 catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns this past week to Browns tight ends.
