Kyle Pitts Sr. at New Orleans — Looking to Spark Quiet Start in Division Battle
Despite remaining Atlanta's primary tight end on the depth chart, Pitts has endured an extraordinarily quiet start with just two catches for 20 yards on six targets through three weeks. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees recently emphasized the need to get Pitts more involved as an integral piece of the offense, though fantasy managers have grown weary as his starting rate plummeted from 88% down to 26%.
Facing a divisional rival in the Superdome with solid scoring potential, Pitts profiles as a risky, low-end streaming option rather than a lineup lock. Our weekly projection lands at 8.4 fantasy points on roughly three receptions for 36 yards, meaning managers may want to keep him benched until this passing attack proves he will actually receive consistent volume.

Kendre Miller vs. Falcons — Increased Opportunity in Division Matchup
With lead back Travis Etienne landing on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, Miller has an avenue for expanded work in the Saints' backfield rotation. Fantasy managers have taken note, driving his rostered rate up to 32% this week. While he still shares touches behind Alvin Kamara, Etienne's absence elevates Miller into a more reliable complementary role on Monday night.
In what projects to be a competitive home game against Atlanta, our models project Miller for roughly 5 carries and 18 rushing yards, yielding around 5.4 fantasy points. While that modest volume keeps him as a deep-league flex or stash candidate rather than a standard starter, his red-zone upside makes him an intriguing desperation play.
