Kyle Pitts Sr. Draws Favorable Matchup Against Patriots in Week 9
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has played a consistent role in this offense all season, and last week he led the way with top receiver Drake London (hip) out with an injury, reeling in all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins, albeit for 59 scoreless yards. Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and London will be back on the field for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, but of all the positions on offense for fantasy, the matchup with New England favors the tight end the most. The Pats have yielded the fifth-most half-point PPR points to TEs thus far, with Cleveland's TEs combining for 10 catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns just last week in Foxborough. While that bodes well for Pitts, he's got just one touchdown all season, so he'll likely have to rely on volume as the 6-foot-6 TE averages over six targets and five receptions per game. It all leaves the 25-year-old as a low-end TE1 with upside in Week 9.
