Kyle Pitts Held Without a Catch in Disappointing Week 1

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.

Cam Skattebo Fully Healthy for Week 1 Against Cowboys

Saturday, September 12, 7:45 AM

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has been fully cleared for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys. Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury in Week 8 of the 2025 season but has not missed any time during training camp and appears ready for the regular season. During his rookie season, Skattebo carried the ball 101 times for 410 yards and five touchdowns, while adding 24 receptions for 207 yards and two touchdowns in eight games. He was listed as the RB1 on the Giants' depth chart and should see the bulk of the backfield touches in Week 1. He faces a Cowboys defense that allowed the sixth most fantasy points to running backs last season, though Dallas has made several defensive improvements this offseason. While there's uncertainty about Skattebo's role in Matt Nagy's offense, he still profiles as an RB2 with upside if he can maintain the same receiving work he saw during his rookie season.
