Expert Note
View More NotesSince Week 4, Kyle Pitts has been the TE6 in fantasy points per game. During that stretch, he has had a 17.2% target share, 2.09 YPRR, six red zone targets, and a 19.3% first-read share. Last week, I was low on Pitts because the 49ers had been tough against tight ends and the coverage structure didn't align with Pitts' usage for the season. Atlanta did change his usage last week against single high, as he had a 27% TPRR against the coverage structure. It's possible he could see that type of usage again this week against a single high heavy Tampa Bay pass defense. Tampa Bay has the fourth-highest single-high rate in the NFL (60.4%). Tampa Bay has allowed solid production to tight ends in their last five games, surrendering the 14th-most yards per target and the 12th-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position. It also doesn't hurt that Pitts annihilated the Bucs last year, finishing as the TE7 and TE1 in weekly scoring against them in their two meetings.

Fantasy Impact
For those who were patient with Pitts after a very slow start this season, the rewards have come over the last three weeks. The towering tight end has now scored four times during that span, catching exactly five passes each time out.
