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.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. hauled in seven of his 10 targets for 62 yards in Week 7, which was his second seven-catch performance in six games thus far and the first time he recorded double-digit targets, now averaging just over six targets per game. The 6-foot-6 tight end owns a solid 19.3 percent target share, putting him in the low-end TE1 conversation most weeks, however, he's been able to find theend zone just one time all season, leaving him as just the 16th-overall TE in half-point PPR leagues. Still, the 25-year-old is back in the TE1 conversation in a home game against the Dolphins, a defense that has given up 29 points per game over the last three weeks. Teams have preferred to run against Miami, but with six teams on bye and it being National Tight Ends' Day (he caught two TDs last year on that day), the formerfirst-round draft pick sets up as a low-end TE1 again.

Coming off a strong showing last week against San Francisco, Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. could be entering regular starting territory, even in one-tight-end formats. We'll pause for the groaning from the managers who had buyer's remorse on Pitts in previous years, but in 2025, his overall usage has been consistently good, and there could be even better fantasy production in future weeks. So far, the fifth-year tight end is playing 81% of the team's snaps and drawing more than six targets per game, and he enters Week 8 with three top-15 finishes in six tries. He has only three red-zone targets in six games, but the Falcons have one of the most favorable remaining schedules for a tight end in the NFL, giving him additional potential as the season goes on.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. tiedfor theteam lead in targets (10) and recorded the most catches (seven) in Sunday night's 20-10 loss to the 49ers, totaling 62 yards in the contest. It was a nice bounce-back performance after a 3-18-0 line in Week 6, and reestablished his place as the No. 3 pass-catcher in this offense with a 19.3 percent target share on the season, just slightly behind Bijan Robinson's 19.8 percent. The effort puts the 25-year-old on pace for 85 catches this season and 800-plus yards. ThoughDarnell Mooney was active for this game, he received only five targets and has been targeted more than Pitts only one time this season in the four games in which he's played. The 6-foot-6 tightend gets a matchup with Miami in Week 8, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to TEs thus far and is allowing opponents to score 29.3 points per game, fourth-most in the NFL.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his lowest output of the season in Week 6, tallying three catches on four targets for 18 scoreless yards. Despite the down week, the 25-year-old has found some consistency in the offense this season, ranking third on the team in target share (17.4 percent) behind only Drake London and Bijan Robinson. Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is questionable after a DNP in Friday's practice, although coach Raheem Morris believes Mooney will play. Regardless, Pitts has maintained at least a 74 percent snap share, five targets, and four catches in games where Mooney was on the field, so he's carved out a reliable role in the offense. As such, the 6-foot-6 tight end sets up as a low-end TE1 this week in a game that the 49ers will be without some key pieces on defense.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. underwhelmed in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills, catching three of four targets for just 18 yards and no scores. It was easily his lowest fantasyoutput so far this season, but it was somewhat expected against a Buffalo defense that had been one of the toughest units in the NFL for opposing tight ends to produce against thus far in 2025. On the bright side, the 6-foot-6 tight end has 23 catches on 28 targets through the team's first five games, compared to 15 catches on 23 targets through the first five games of 2024, so he's certainly been more involved in the offense. The 25-year-old will look to get back on track in Week 7 against a San Francisco defense that has been middle of the pack against opposing TEs. Worth noting, however, is thathe'll face seven of the most TE-friendly matchups around over his next ten games, so fantasymanagers could see him really take off in the comingweeks.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has been a steady performer so far this year, logging at least five targetsand at least four receptions in each of the team's first four games, evenlogging a season-high 70 yardsreceiving and catching his first touchdown pass of the season in Week 4. Week6 brings a difficult matchup against the Bills, a defense that has limited opposing offenses to the second-fewest yards per game through the air, and it's a unit that has yielded the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends so far this season. However, with the Bills' LB Matt Milano (pec) ruled out, intermediate targets could open a bit more, and with the Falcons' WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) also ruled out, a few more targets could be headed Pitts' way. The 6-foot-6 tight end saw a season-high eight targets in Week 1 without Mooney on the field, and is looking like a low-end TE1 for Monday's matchup in Atlanta.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his best week of the season to date in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, reeling in all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown, his first of the year. That now makes four straight weeks with at least five targets and at least four catches to begin the 2025 campaign, currentlyranking as the ninth-highest scoring tight end in half-point PPR leagues. The former first-round draft pick'starget share (18.5 percent) ranks second on the team behind only Drake London, and that is even the case if you only look at Weeks 2-4 when Darnell Mooney was on the field. It's almost a five percent increase in target share compared to his involvement last season, too. The Falcons have a bye in Week 5, and Pitts returns to a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bills, a team that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to TEs this year, so it will be a good test to see if Michael Penix Jr. can keep him involved on an every-week basis.
