Will Target Volume Eventually Lead to Touchdowns for Kyle Pitts Sr.?

Tuesday, October 28, 9:11 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. was the lone bright spot on offense during the team's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, reeling in all nine of his targets from Kirk Cousins, albeit for just 59 scoreless yards. With No. 1 receiver Drake London (hip) out, the 25-year-old was able to gobble up looks, with no other pass-catcher tallying more than three receptions on the day. While the absence of both London and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) led to some unexpected results in this contest, Pitts has at least shown that he has a role in this offense regardless of the personnel around him, and it appears he can be trusted to be in the TE1 conversation most weeks based on volume alone. He's registered just three red zone targets all season, but that is only two fewer than London, so he's not far down in the pecking order when they get in close. The fifth-year pro has several tight-end-friendly matchups in the coming weeks that should hopefully translate to some touchdowns, and he'll take on the Patriots in Week 9, a defense that allowed 10 catches for 99 yards and two touchdowns this past week to Browns tight ends.

Cade Otton News

Cade Otton Picking Up Steam

Monday, October 27, 9:16 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton started off the season by posting some dubs, but has turned it around lately. Over the last four games, Otton has hauled in four receptions or more in every game. The 26-year-old has also finished with 40 receiving yards or more in all of those contests. The Bucs are extremely shorthanded with multiple playmakers out for the foreseeable future. That being said, Otton figures to continue seeing the ball coming his way during the second half of the season. The Bucs head into a bye in Week 9, but Otton should be a viable TE2 in the second half.
