Kyle Pitts's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts garnered nine looks from Kirk Cousins, tallying seven grabs for 65 yards in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks. Although the 24-year-old failed to find the end zone for the sixth consecutive week, the target, reception, and yardage totals were all team-highs on the afternoon. The former first-round draft pick recorded seven catches or more just three times from 2021-23 but has now totaled seven catches in two of the last three games for Atlanta, so perhaps the arrow is starting to point up for him. He also was held without a catch in Week 4, so let's not get too ahead of ourselves. Week 8 brings a rematch with Tampa Bay, which saw 58 pass attempts from Cousins the last time out. A more balanced approach should be the expectation this time around, but Pitts did haul in seven for 88 in that contest and should be involved again.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts remains a volatile fantasy asset through six weeks, having caught as many as seven passes in Week 5 and as few as zero in Week 4. Last week was more in the middle, reeling in three of five targets from Kirk Cousins. On the bright side, the 24-year-old's 14.6 yards per catch ranks second-best among TEs, and his average depth of target (aDOT) of 7.82 is better than the likes of George Kittle, Travis Kelce, and Dallas Goedert. Week 7 brings a matchup versus a Seattle pass defense that has surrendered seven reception TDs over their last three contests, two of which came to the aforementioned Kittle in Week 6. With one of the highest projected totals (51) on the slate, everyone will likely be involved, Pitts included. The former fourth-overall draft pick can be inconsistent but is still a TE1 this week.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was targeted five times in Sunday's 38-20 victory over the Panthers, hauling in three passes for 70 yards. The yardage was good, but 52 of the 70 came on a single play and the 24-year-old was held out of the end zone for the fifth consecutive game. Still, the targets were tied for second-most on the team and Atlanta leaned heavily on the run game, so outside of Drake London, the air attack underwhelmed overall on Sunday. Pitts will take on the Seahawks defense in Week 7 that has been hit or miss in regards to covering TEs, but George Kittle just went 5-58-2 this past Thursday, and with a high projected total for that game, everyone should be involved.
