Kyle Pitts Sr. caught one of three targets for 15 yards in the Falcons' 34-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
With the Falcons' QB play being so abysmal, it's hard to take anything away from the last two weeks. Hopefully we will see Michael Penix on Thursday to help bring some clarity and stability to the passing game.
Kyle Pitts Sr. failed to catch his lone target in a 20-13 loss to the Steelers in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
It was a rough day for the Atlanta passing attack as third-string QB Cooper Rush only passed for 143 yards. Pitts will hope to bounce back in Week 2 against the Panthers, although he will be tough to trust in fantasy as long as Rush is under center.
Kyle Pitts Sr. has agreed to a 3-year, $54 million extension with the Atlanta Falcons.
Fantasy Impact
After coming off arguably his best season as a pro, Pitts gets the bag. He will operate as the teams second target behind Drake London and TE1 in a tight end friendly Stefanski system. It’s wheels up for the still young Pitts.
Adam Schefter said “he would watch to see if [the Falcons] could find a trade partner for Kyle Pitts, who they’re open to dealing.”
Fantasy Impact
Pitts had found himself in the midst of trade rumors earlier in the offseason, but they have quieted down since. He signed his franchise tender earlier in April. It still seems like Pitts will likely remain in Atlanta, but it is at least worth monitoring.
Kyle Pitts Sr. is signing his franchise tag and showing up for the Falcons voluntary workouts to begin their offseason program.
Fantasy Impact
The two sides can still negotiate a long-term deal. The tag is $15.045 million fully guaranteed. Pitts took a step forward in his career last season, most notably when Drake London missed time.
