Kyle Pitts Sr.
TE - Atlanta Falcons
Availability
Kyle Pitts scored 7% of his career fantasy points last Thursday Night against the Buccaneers. He also scored 28% of his career touchdowns last week. All these points define what it means to have an outlier game. Having said that, in the absence of Drake London, Pitts has taken a step forward for his fantasy production. Although early in the week, it appears that the Falcons are hoping to have London back against the Cardinals. If he does return, Pitts' managers will be left in Limbo, wondering the impact of his involvement. That said, with the stretch of games Pitts is on, he is locked into all lineups.
Kyle Pitts is a locked-and-loaded fantasy TE1 as long as Drake London is out. Now the question remains...how does London's potential return impact Pitts? Again, it's probably a moot point given the tight end position in fantasy football. Most people won't have better options. And the Cardinals are a top-10 matchup for TEs in Week 16.
We haven't seen the Pitts' splits with London and Cousins this season.
With London, Pitts was averaging 6.6 points per game. Last year with Cousins/London...Pitts was averaging 7 points per game.
London was upgraded to day-to-day, so he may play in Week 16.
And I think these quotes by HC Raheem Morris are pretty blunt.
S/O to CoachSpeakIndex: "He got the targets that Drake London would get, and he got his targets that he would normally get. 20 carries for Bijan, 12 targets for London, and 10 targets for Pitts, then some usage for Darnell Mooney, Tyler Allgeier, etc."
Morris says he is "hopeful" for London to come back this week.
