Jonnu Smith A Co-Starter Heading Into Week 1

Tuesday, September 5, 9:01 PM

The Atlanta Falcons have tight end Jonnu Smith listed as a co-starter alongside Kyle Pitts on their depth chart as they prepare to face off against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1. Smith is embarking upon his first season with the team after spending the past two years with the New England Patriots. It is unlikely that Smith will see enough work to become fantasy-relevant as a fifth or sixth option in what is expected to be a run-first Falcons offense in 2023.

Kyle Pitts - Week 3 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Wednesday, September 20, 9:44 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has continued to be disappointing in fantasy football, catching just four passes for 49 yards thus far in 2023. However, the tight end position is scarce and weak overall, so fantasy managers might just want to ride it out with him and hope a boom week comes. His Week 3 matchup, the Detroit Lions, have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends through two weeks. Against the Seattle Seahawks last week, Detroit gave up nine receptions for 99 yards to the trio of Noah Fant, Colby Parkinson, and Will Dissly. Given the juicy matchup, it's too early to lose faith and bench Pitts in Week 3 fantasy lineups.
