The Atlanta Falcons (2-2) will host the Buffalo Bills (4-1) in Week 6. 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 Sr. Playing in Week 6?

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 Kyle Pitts Sr. in Week 6?
Kyle Pitts caught all five of his targets for 70 yards and scored against the Commanders in Week 4 ahead of the Week 5 bye, his second top 7 finish at the position in September.
This, to me at least, looks different than Pitts’ tease runs of years past. His PPR points per target is trending toward a career high, and the efficiency is in a good spot to sustain given his target diet.

We’ve been fed the “he’s in the wide receivers room” propaganda for years now, and while that role came with theoretical upside, he’s been unable to cash in on any of it. Reasonable minds can disagree as to why the struggles happened, but they happened and showed no signs of correcting.
This chain-moving plan is going to keep Pitts’ ceiling case below that of a top 5 tight end, and that’s OK if it means locking him into top 12 status.
Like it or not, this is a different version of Pitts, and this version is a lineup lock due to the state of the position.
