Kyle Pitts caught 2-of-5 targets for six yards in the Falcons’ Week 8 loss to the Bucs. 2026-11-01 18:00:02 Pitts’ 20 percent target share would have been good for at least TE2 fantasy numbers on a normal day. This game was anything but normal. Pitts and Jahan Dotson were the only Falcons pass-catchers with multiple receptions. Michael Penix only completed eight passes, so there simply wasn’t enough production to go around. He was intercepted four times and the Falcons were shut out. Pitts role as a PPR merchant should tick back up in Week 9 versus the Bengals. He will be back in the TE2 mix for that contest. |

Kyle Pitts caught all five of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ Week 7 win over the 49ers. 2026-10-25 17:00:03 The touchdown is nice to see, and Pitts finished tied for second on the team in both catches and targets. However, preliminary snap counts say he played on 37 of the team’s 67 snaps and ran a route on 20 of their 37 dropbacks. Charlie Woerner ran a route on 11 dropbacks and Austin Hooper ran a route on 10 dropbacks, so the Falcons continue to get tons of tight ends on the field. That makes Pitts more of a high-end TE2 option because he does have good touchdown equity. |

Kyle Pitts caught 5-of-7 targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns in the Falcons’ Week 6 loss to the Bears. 2026-10-18 18:00:03 Pitts was one of the beneficiaries of a pass-heavy second half for a Falcons offense that was forced to abandon the run game facing a multi-touchdown deficit. Pitts took advantage of single coverage a couple times, including on his first touchdown grab. He now has three touchdowns over his past two games as Michael Penix brings some stability to the Atlanta offense. Pitts, who ran a route on 26 of the team’s 38 drop backs against Chicago, will be a viable play in Week 7 against the Niners. |

Kyle Pitts caught 5-of-6 targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ Week 5 loss to the Ravens. 2026-10-12 01:00:03 Pitts remained largely confined to short area work with his game-long reception going for only 13 yards. A second quarter touchdown from five yards out gave the veteran tight end his first trip to paint through five games and his five receptions doubled that of his previous four appearances. Pitts remains a difficult weekly start for as long as Drake London and Bijan Robinson remain healthy, which doesn’t change ahead of a Week 6 meeting with the Bears in Atlanta. |

Kyle Pitts caught all three targets for 47 yards in the Falcons’ Week 4 win over the Saints. 2026-10-06 01:00:02 Pitts played just one snap on the team’s first two possessions before seeing modest usage the rest of the game. His counting stats were padded in the second half with a 28-yard, catch-and-run reception on a play action pass out of the flat. Pitts isn’t getting the snaps or route participation to return consistent fantasy production and is best left on fantasy benches for as long as Drake London remains healthy. That won’t change ahead of a Week 5 meeting with the Ravens. |
