The Atlanta Falcons will visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15. 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 15?
Pitts is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Falcons’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Pitts in Week 15?
Here we go again.
Pitts had 68.8% of Atlanta’s first half receiving yardage against the Seahawks last week and now has set a new season high in yards in consecutive games.
- Week 13 at Jets: 7 catches, 8 targets, 82 yards
- Week 14 vs. Seahawks: 6 catches, 10 targets, 90 yards
Kirk Cousins is limited in a lot of ways, but targeting his big tight end doesn’t appear to be one of them. In Week 13, Pitts owned a 4.3-yard aDOT with zero deep targets, but on Sunday, his aDOT spiked to 12.1 yards with four deep shots.
Is Cousins making him the player we thought he could be?
Enjoy it while it lasts. Pitts has a 20+ yard reception in six of his past seven, making up for the fact that he hasn’t scored since September. It’s not going to feel comfortable, but this is a pass funnel spot, and that has me ranking the former first-round pick as my TE6 this week.
