Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his lowest output of the season in Week 6, tallying three catches on four targets for 18 scoreless yards. Despite the down week, the 25-year-old has found some consistency in the offense this season, ranking third on the team in target share (17.4 percent) behind only Drake London and Bijan Robinson. Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is questionable after a DNP in Friday's practice, although coach Raheem Morris believes Mooney will play. Regardless, Pitts has maintained at least a 74 percent snap share, five targets, and four catches in games where Mooney was on the field, so he's carved out a reliable role in the offense. As such, the 6-foot-6 tight end sets up as a low-end TE1 this week in a game that the 49ers will be without some key pieces on defense.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been an inconsistent option at tight end this season, but he will look to keep his season going on a high note when Kraft and the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Despite averaging just 4.5 targets in five games this season, Kraft is the TE8 in fantasy scoring. Last week, he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the Packers' win over the Bengals. Consistent volume has been a bit difficult to come by for Kraft this season, as his production has largely been dependent on touchdowns. Despite just one top-10 fantasy tight end performance this season, Kraft is a solid start against Arizona. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position on the season, so fire up Kraft and hope he gets into the end zone in Week 7.
