Kyle Pitts Week 4 Outlook - Saints at Falcons

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 26th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

In Week 3, Pitts saw his route share drop to 65% after he was sitting at 75% in the first two games of the season. I think Atlanta's new offensive coordinator is struggling with how and when to deploy Pitts, as we've seen his slot rate drop and his inline rate increase to 48-55% over the last two games. Overall, Pitts has an 11.9% target share, a 17.1% air-yard share, a 1.64 YPRR, and a frightening 7.4% first-read share. Pitts has been an afterthought in Cousins' progressions. The Pitts' hope is on life support right now. I'm hoping that a solid matchup against the Saints could help him rebound this week. New Orleans has allowed the fourth-most receptions, the third-most receiving yards, and the second-highest yards per reception to tight ends. If Pitts doesn't make it happen this week, he could be permanently parked on fantasy benches until he starts producing.
