Scouting report

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Chicago Bears

Perhaps Kyle Pitts is starting to get a little hot at the right time. Of course, there's a good chance a lot of championship games won't feature Pitts on either team. But Pitts does have touchdowns in two of his last three games, so there's a bit of a connection between Pitts and Taylor Heinicke. He's an intriguing starting option this week and certainly a streaming option for DFS players. Is he worth a spot in the championship round? Maybe. It's close but he does have a little momentum.

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Kyle Pitts has now scored single-digit fantasy points in seven of his last eight games. The change in quarterback isn't going to move the needle much for him. In Heinicke's three appearances, Pitts had less than 40 yards in two of those games. The offense just isn't explosive enough no matter who the quarterback is, so Pitts isn't a reliable option this deep into the fantasy playoffs.

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Carolina Panthers

Jonnu Smith isn't limiting Kyle Pitts as much anymore as Pitts has been on a bit of an upswing lately. Two straight games with 50 receiving yards and three out of five. Pitts also scored his first touchdown since Week 6. Carolina presents a tough challenge for Pitts and the Falcons. He caught just two passes against them in Week 1. Pitts remains a borderline TE1 for the fantasy playoffs.

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

It almost feels too good to be true, but Kyle Pitts actually saw eight targets against the Jets last week, his most since getting 11 against the Texans in Week 5. Still, Pitts hasn't had a touchdown or a double-digit fantasy day since Week 6, so while we always talk about his talent, the offense as a whole limits him to being a TE2 with upside. He had three catches for 47 yards in Week 7 against the Buccaneers, who are a little banged up at linebacker.

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New York Jets

It's as if Desmond Ridder completely forgot about Kyle Pitts last week. Just two targets for the talented tight end, a season-low. He's cracked 50 yards in a game just twice this season and only once since Week 5. The Jets aren't a terrible matchup, but the quarterback play just limits Pitts way too much at this point. His talent makes him TE2-worthy, but there's just almost nothing exciting.

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New Orleans Saints

Kyle Pitts now has four straight games without double-digit fantasy points, though he did come close in Week 9. He has five targets in each of those four games and hasn't scored since Week 6. Since Atlanta has mixed Jonnu Smith into the picture, Pitts hasn't been able to fully utilize all his talent, thus capping his fantasy potential. Keep Pitts as a TE2, though it is a favorable matchup against the Saints (27th-ranked defense vs. tight ends on our board).

ATL TE Kyle Pitts - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Arizona Cardinals

Kyle Pitts reached 50 yards for only the second time this season and the first time since Week 5. However, he still only has the one touchdown this season and watched as Jonnu Smith scored on a screen from about 60 yards out. As long as Smith is going to keep being a part of the offense, Pitts’ fantasy potential will be capped. He remains a TE2 with upside.
