Kenny Gainwell at Cincinnati — Sneaky Flex Appeal in High-Scoring Opener

Kenny Gainwell enters the season opener healthy and operating as a key change-of-pace option alongside Bucky Irving in Tampa Bay's backfield. With running back Sean Tucker questionable with an injury, Gainwell's rotational role is firmly secured for Week 1.

Facing Cincinnati in a matchup with strong shootout potential, Gainwell could see a bump in pass-catching snaps if game script requires more throwing. While rostered in roughly 95% of leagues, only 18% of fantasy managers are starting him. Our projections anticipate around 50 total yards and three receptions for roughly 10 fantasy points, making him a playable deeper-league flex option.

Outlook Kyle Pitts Sr.

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.
