Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Saturday, October 24, 7:56 AM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew seven targets in Week 6, the second-most on the team behind Drake London (10), and scored for the second straight week, recording five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns. The performance followed a recent upward trend that has seen the 6-foot-6 tight end become more involved in the passing game, notching 13 receptions over the last three contests after being held to just two catches over his first three games of the season. Unfortunately, it will be an uphill battle in order to continue that trend this week, with the 49ers ranking as the second-toughest defense in terms of allowing fantasy points to tight ends, with opposing TEs failing to find the end zone against them even once so far this season. His recent usage is certainly encouraging, and the rest-of-season outlook is growing brighter after a miserable start, but this week, the 26-year-old shapes up as a mid-range TE2, ranking as the No. 16 TE overall at RotoBaller.

Matthew Golden News
Thursday, October 29, 3:10 PM
Green Bay Packers second-year wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder, foot) is officially active for the Thursday night game at Lambeau Field against the Carolina Panthers, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Golden was listed as questionable for the Week 8 game on a short week due to shoulder and foot injuries, but he is good to go and will be looking for another game against a vulnerable defense. The 23-year-old former 23rd overall pick from the University of Texas had only 39 receiving yards in the Week 7 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday, but he had double-digit targets (12) for the fourth time this year. Golden has 25 targets in the last two games and already has three 100-yard performances and three touchdowns in seven games in the midst of a breakout sophomore campaign. Fantasy managers who have him rostered should have him in their starting lineups as he looks to take advantage of a Panthers defense that gave up over 40 points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a blowout loss last weekend.
