The Atlanta Falcons will visit the New York Jets in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Kyle Pitts Sr.
Is Kyle Pitts Playing in Week 13?
Pitts is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Pitts in Week 13?
Kyle Pitts hasn’t reached 40 receiving yards in a game this month and hasn’t scored since September.
There was some hope that with Drake London sidelined and Kirk Cousins taking over that Pitts could at least give us top 12 numbers the rest of the way by way of his increased role.
Instead, and we are only talking a one-game sample, but we do have an extended run of disappointment to fall back on, Pitts caught two passes and averaged under a fantasy point per target (PPR) for the first time this season.
Early in the year, we had a path to a reasonable floor with the former first round picks because of a regressed aDOT (Weeks 1-8: 5.5 yards). For whatever reason, the Falcons have pivoted from that plan and he’s posted an aDOT north of 11.5 yards in three of his past four games, sacrificing the marginal floor we had for upside that isn’t coming to fruition.
I like Atlanta to win this game and thus put some points on the board. If you’re stuck, I could see where you squint at this profile, see a handful of targets in an offense that we think can have some success and talk yourself into it.
I’m fine with that, but I’m not labeling him as anything more than a fancy streamer at this point: the floor is simply too low and too likely in any given spot to graduate him above that tier.
