Kyle Pitts Has Become An Afterthought In Atlanta

Thursday, October 1, 8:18 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has been a non-factor to start the 2026 season. In three games, Pitts has caught just two passes for 20 yards, averaging one fantasy point per game. Despite the Falcons' offensive explosion in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, Pitts caught only one pass for five yards, while backup tight end Austin Hooper found the end zone. Through three games, Pitts has played just 53% of snaps and 63% of routes, with a 7.5% target share. Despite being drafted fourth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, Pitts has not lived up to expectations and is on pace for his worst season to date. Right now, he doesn't have enough value to be rosterable, though a productive game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4 could catapult him back to relevance.

Trey McBride News

Trey McBride A Must-Start In Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:39 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had nine receptions for 75 yards on 11 targets in Week 3. Arizona's passing attack is built around getting McBride the ball. The tight end has a 32.5% first-read target share, and his 5.9 aDOT is suited to Jacoby Brissett's tendency to favor quick, short passes. McBride has hit double digits in targets and at least eight receptions in each game of 2026. Through the first three games of 2026, he is one reception and three targets from being tied for the lead in the NFL in both categories. In Week 4, the Cardinals travel to New York to face the Giants. McBride can safely be expected to have another productive day and should be in starting lineups everywhere on Sunday.
