Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Sunday, September 13, 1:46 PM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was unable to haul in his lone target during Sunday's Week 1 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was an incredibly frustrating outing for Pitts, who was looking to build on last year's career-best TE2 finish in PPR leagues. Some of his struggles can be attributed to poor quarterback play, as the Falcons opened the season with third-string quarterback Cooper Rush under center. Rush finished the season opener with just 12 completions, two interceptions, and four sacks, making life difficult for the Falcons' receivers. There's a good chance that Atlanta will have either Michael Penix Jr. (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) back next week, which bodes well for Pitts' fantasy outlook going forward. For the time being, managers can chalk this one up to quarterback struggles, with the expectation that he'll return to his mid-to-low TE1 form soon.

Brock Bowers News
Sunday, September 13, 6:02 PM
Sam Warren of The Athletic reports that he spotted Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) walking out of the Raiders' locker room "unaided" with a leg sleeve on his left leg, following Las Vegas' 27-13 season-opening win over the Miami Dolphins. The positive update comes on the heels of a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter that Bowers could potentially return in Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers in L.A. Bowers underwent a meniscus trim on Sept. 8. While Bowers is out, Michael Mayer will benefit in the Raiders' offense. Mayer saw seven targets in Week 1 and recorded six receptions for 32 yards. When Bowers returns at full health, he will immediately jump back into his status as an elite fantasy football tight end.
