Kyle Pitts Week 3 Outlook - Chiefs at Falcons

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Pitts is the TE8 in fantasy points per game with a 12.7% target share, 1.05 YPRR, and a 6.3% first-read share. So far this season, sadly, he has been a distant fourth in the target pecking order. This hopefully corrects itself over time because Pitts route metrics remain solid. Among 38 qualifying tight ends, he is 15th in separation and third in route win rate. Falcons' new offensive coordinator seems like he is still figuring out how he wants to deploy Pitts. In Week 1, he had a 63% slot rate, but in Week 2, he was 55% inline. Kansas City has the second-highest two-high rate in the NFL (71%). Pitts is tied for the team lead with a 22.5% target share against two high. Pitts is another player with a wide range of possible outcomes this week. Last year, Kansas City was tough on tight ends, allowing the ninth-fewest receiving yard and the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game.
