Falcons TE Kyle Pitts is OUT FOR THE YEAR, according to Arthur Smith.

The good news is there is no concern about Pitts' long term future. He'll be remembered for being one of the bigger fantasy busts this year at a position that remains very thin at the top of the heap. Pitts should bounce back next season but will likely lose some value for those in dynasty leagues, and he'll likely slip in ADP heading into 2023.

Falcons are listing tight end Kyle Pitts - who missed last week’s game due to a hamstring injury and was limited at practice this week - as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers.

With Pitts missing Week 5, Drake London was surprisingly not used more but less, earning a 28% target share, which is less than the massive 34.7% target share he had up to that point. As for backup tight ends Parker Heese and Anthony Firkser, they combined for three targets and one reception. London is a worthwhile WR3 play whether or not Pitts is on the field, but there are no other options besides.

Tight end Kyle Pitts has been formally ruled out of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Falcons announced on Friday.

As reported yesterday, though Kye Pitts is a unique brand of athlete on the field, at least some of his usage would presumably fall to the tight ends behind him. None of which will operate out of the slot or out wide, but could be usable as a TE punt in DFS, namely, former Titans TE Anthony Firkser.

Per Michael, there was no Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) at the open-to-the-media portion of practice for the second straight day.

For the sake of the Atlanta Falcons puttering pass game, let's just hope this is a minor setback.

Pitts has been missing in the Falcons offense and this is another hit for owners. Hopefully he can get back on the practice field leading up to Week 5. Hesse and Firkser are up next on the depth chart if Pitts can't go.

The Atlanta Falcons have signed TE Anthony Firkser.

Firkser was a sleeper darling in the fantasy community before producing like a fantasy football manager. Outside of a few shining moments, Firkser was fantasy irrelevant in 2021. He will fill Hayden Hurst's role as the backup tight end behind Kyle Pitts and chip in occasional catches and vulture touchdowns.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser (knee) will not play Week 3 against the Colts according to Turron Davenport of ESPN.

Firkser has not been fantasy-relevant in his limited time this season. Geoff Swaim will start at tight end.

Titans TE Anthony Firkser is questionable for Week 2 because of a knee injury according to Jim Wyatt of the Tennessee Titans.

Firkser went from a limited participant to DNP Friday, a bad omen. Geoff Swaim would see the biggest boost at the tight end position on the Titans.
