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.

Ladd McConkey a Bright Spot Before Injuring his Chest

Sunday, September 13, 7:48 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey (chest) caught five of his seven targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. McConkey quickly cemented himself as the team's WR1 and became Justin Herbert's favorite target over the middle. Unfortunately, his performance was cut short after taking a big hit late in the third quarter. He was immediately taken back to the locker room and did not return to the field. His status for Week 2 is up in the air, and we will get more information about his availability as the week goes on. If he can play, McConkey will have a favorable matchup at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.
