Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Saturday, August 15, 7:35 AM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. caught three of his four targets for 22 yards in Friday's 27-7 preseason loss to the Broncos. All four of Pitts' targets came on the first two drives from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who is expected to open the season as the starter, at least until Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is able to return. It was a reassuring performance from the 6-foot-6 tight end who is coming off a season in which he set career highs in targets (118), receptions (88), and touchdowns (five) while racking up 928 yards receiving, which has pushed his fantasy value upward. The former fourth-overall draft pick has an ADP of 78 and currently sits at TE7 in RotoBaller's latest tight end ranks. Though Drake London did not play in this contest, to see the 25-year-old tight end that involved from the outset is encouraging for his potential to put up big numbers again this year as Atlanta's likely No. 2 option in the passing attack.

Jadarian Price News
Sunday, August 23, 8:35 AM
Seattle Seahawks rookie first-round running back Jadarian Price will not play in Sunday's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. The Seahawks also plan to keep Price out of their preseason finale next Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Bell writes that head coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider have seen enough of Price's speed, decisiveness in cutting into outside-zone run gaps, and his pass-catching to know that he's invaluable, especially with Zach Charbonnet (knee) not ready for the start of the regular season. Price also missed a week in August with what was being called upper-leg soreness, and Seattle continues to be extremely cautious with the star RB from Notre Dame. Even though the Seahawks listed George Holani as the RB1 on their preseason depth chart, the team's decision to hold Price out of preseason action confirms that the 22-year-old will be a key part of their backfield right away. At worst, Price should be considered a low-end RB2 target with upside in upcoming fantasy football drafts.
