Kyle Pitts Sr. at Pittsburgh — Reliable Target Floor Amid Quarterback Turmoil

Kyle Pitts enters the opener completely healthy as Atlanta's primary tight end, coming off a strong 90-catch 2025 campaign. However, the offense faces an uphill battle with both Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. ruled out, forcing third-string passer Cooper Rush under center on the road in Pittsburgh.

While a low 41-point game total and quarterback instability raise efficiency concerns, Pitts should serve as a vital safety valve. Our weekly projection anticipates 4 receptions for around 42 yards on 5 to 6 targets. Fantasy managers should keep him locked in as a reliable starter across all formats.

Outlook Nico Collins

Nico Collins vs BUF at home — primed for heavy volume in season opener

Nico Collins enters the season opener completely healthy as Houston's primary outside receiver catching passes from C.J. Stroud. With fellow wideout Tank Dell sidelined on injured reserve, Collins is set to command an even more consolidated target share across the formation against a competitive Buffalo defense.

Our weekly projection pegs him for 14.9 fantasy points, expecting around 5 receptions on 8 targets for 73 receiving yards. Started in virtually every league, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a locked-in must-start option with weekly touchdown upside.
