Breaks out against Jets
Pitts recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 119 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets.
Analysis: Pitts saw big volume for the second consecutive game, though this time he managed to also deliver plenty of production. He torched the Jets' secondary for big gains of 39, 22, 18 and 16 yards to account for the majority of his production. Pitts also managed the first touchdown of his career, which came from two yards away late in the opening quarter. It was by far Pitts' best performance of his rookie campaign and it came in the absence of Calvin Ridley (personal), but the duo should have…read more

Does little with big volume
Pitts caught four of nine targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-30 loss to Washington.
Analysis: The nine targets were a season high for the rookie tight end but Pitts didn't do a whole lot with them, as his longest grab went for only 15 yards. He does have multiple catches in all four games to begin his NFL career, but Pitts will head into a Week 5 clash with the Jets in London still searching for his first big performance.

Only two catches
Pitts made just two catches on three targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Pitts showed his big-play ability with a long reception of 25 yards, but the rookie tight end was otherwise not involved much in the passing game. In fact, backup tight end Lee Smith actually scored one of Atlanta's receiving touchdowns, hauling in a one-yarder in the fourth quarter. Through his first three games as a pro, Pitts is yet to find the end zone, but as seen in last week's five-catch, 73-yard performance, the Florida product's upside is something that should keep fantasy owners…read more

Shows improvement in Week 2
Pitts secured five of six targets for 73 yards in the Falcons' 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: The fourth overall pick slogged through his NFL debut against the Eagles a week ago, but Pitts looked much more the part Sunday in a tough defensive matchup. Pitts notched a team-high 24-yard reception on his way to pacing the Falcons in receiving yardage, and he also flashed improved efficiency after bringing in only half his eight targets in Week 1. Pitts will look to continue his ascent against a vulnerable Giants defense in a Week 3 road battle.

Fizzles in regular-season debut
Pitts brought in four of eight targets for 31 yards in the Falcons' 32-6 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Pitts' highly anticipated regular-season debut was a disappointing microcosm of the Falcons' afternoon, even as the rookie tight end tied for second on the team in receptions and also was the runner-up in receiving yardage, despite his modest total. His longest reception went for 18 yards, meaning he netted a measly 13 on his three other grabs. Pitts did draw even with Calvin Ridley for the team lead in targets, however, offering a glimmer of optimism for disheartened fantasy managers who…read more

Flashes athleticism on lone catch
Pitts caught his lone target for 27 yards in Sunday's 19-10 preseason loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Pitts was one of the few key position players the Falcons opted to finally play in the team's final preseason tilt. The fourth overall pick from this year's draft put his tremendous athleticism on display when he took a short pass and barreled down the field through a couple defenders for 27 yards. Pitts is a rare and exciting talent who could be primed for a huge rookie campaign on a team that just lost one of its top playmakers in Julio Jones this past offseason. The rookie will make his…read more

Doesn't play Saturday
Pitts is among Atlanta's key skill players who have yet to see preseason action, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Schultz suggests that players such as Pitts, QB Matt Ryan, WR Calvin Ridley and RB Mike Davis could see work on a drive or two in the team's preseason finale against the Browns next weekend, but that's not a lock to occur. In any case, given that the Falcons took Pitts, fourth overall, in the 2021 NFL Draft, it's clear that the team has big plans for the talented tight end this season. Though rookies at his position tend to be eased into fantasy relevance, Pitts has the skills and likely the…read more

Sits out preseason opener
Pitts dressed for the team's preseason opener against the Titans on Friday but did not play, Tori McElhaney of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Coach Arthur Smith said after the game, "Kyle is right on schedule, and if we felt like he was behind we probably would have put him out there." Though it's disappointing to miss the chance to see Pitts on the field, everything seems to be in order for him to be a big contributor to the Falcons' offense as soon as the regular season begins. After the team selected him with the fourth overall pick in the 2021 draft, Pitts should have the chance to establish himself as the team's second-most…read more

Inks four-year deal
Pitts has signed a four-year deal with the Falcons worth $32.9 million, including $21.2 million guaranteed and a fifth-year team option, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Pitts, who the Falcons took fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, is poised to see a key role in the team's passing offense from the get-go this coming season. With Julio Jones no longer in the mix, the 6-foot-6, 246-pounder should be one of QB Matt Ryan's main targets along with Calvin Ridley, now Atlanta's clear-cut No. 1 wideout. It's a context that puts the rookie tight end firmly on the fantasy radar and makes him an upside play to target once the top-tier options at his position (Travis…read more

More targets available sans Jones
Pitts should work as Atlanta's No. 2 pass catcher from the get-go now that the team has traded Julio Jones to the Titans, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: There was some concern about Pitts' target volume when he was selected fourth overall in the 2021 draft to join an offense that was expected to feature two of the league's top receivers in Jones and Calvin Ridley. But Jones' departure should help Pitts immediately carve out a role as the top complement to Ridley. The highly skilled tight end figures to be among the top receiving threats at his position right away. Pitts often was split out wide near the goal line to catch fade routes in the end…read more
