Kyle Pitts Sr. at Pittsburgh: Prime Target in Road Opener

Entering the season completely healthy after signing a major contract extension, Pitts is locked in as Atlanta's top tight end catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa. He displayed his downfield chemistry with Tagovailoa during the preseason and remains an integral fixture in the Falcons' passing attack alongside Drake London heading into a physical road test in Pittsburgh.

With an 87% start rate across fantasy leagues, Pitts remains an every-week fixture in starting lineups. Our projections anticipate a steady outing of four receptions for roughly 42 yards and 10.6 fantasy points. While the matchup features a modest 41.5-point projected total, Pitts' target volume provides a secure floor with distinct red-zone touchdown upside.

Carnell Tate vs NYJ — First-Round Rookie Faces Low-Scoring Opener Amid Questionable Tag

Tate enters his rookie campaign listed as an immediate starter on the perimeter opposite Calvin Ridley, catching passes from Cam Ward. However, fantasy managers must monitor his status leading up to kickoff against the Jets, as he carries a questionable tag with an undisclosed issue that surfaced this week following late-August practice stiffness.

If cleared, Tate profiles as a viable flex option, rostered in 99% of leagues but started in just 42% due to injury uncertainty and a low-scoring projected defensive matchup. Our weekly projection anticipates a solid debut with roughly 4 receptions for 57 yards on around 7 targets (12.0 fantasy points). While his upside is enticing as an outside weapon, check back often for final active status updates.
