Kyle Pitts at Green Bay — Rebound Spot After Slow Start
Pitts has endured a quiet opening stretch, recording just one catch for 15 yards on four targets through two weeks. However, offensive coordinator Tommy Rees recently emphasized that getting his primary tight end involved is a top priority. With Michael Penix Jr. back under center and the Falcons searching for offensive rhythm, Pitts should see increased opportunities to operate as a central intermediate target.
Manager confidence has slipped with Pitts started in only 52% of leagues, but our models project a bounce back toward 9.4 fantasy points on six targets and 43 receiving yards. Facing a trailing game script as road underdogs, Pitts is a matchup-dependent starter whose athletic profile still carries TE1 ceiling if volume rebounds.

Michael Penix Jr. Takes the Reins in Green Bay — Season Debut on Thursday Night
After recovering from knee surgery, Michael Penix Jr. has been officially named Atlanta's starting quarterback for Thursday night's road matchup against the Packers. The Falcons are looking for a spark after failing to reach the red zone through two games, and Penix declared he is healthy and ready to lead an attack featuring Drake London, Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson.
While Penix provides optimism for Atlanta's passing game, fantasy managers in standard single-quarterback leagues should leave him on the bench for his first start back. Our models project him for around 226 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 14.2 fantasy points, though playing as 5.5-point road underdogs could force extra throwing volume.
