Kyle Pitts Sr. at New Orleans — Low-Volume Slump Leaves Him as a Risky Option
Pitts continues to operate as the lead tight end in Atlanta's offense, but his campaign is off to a sluggish start with only two receptions for 20 yards through three games. Offensive coordinator Tommy Rees publicly emphasized a commitment to getting Pitts more involved as an integral piece of the passing attack alongside Drake London and Bijan Robinson, offering some optimism for an expanded role.
Fantasy managers have grown wary, causing his starting roster percentage to plummet down to 25%. Our weekly projection expects a modest bounce-back toward 3.4 receptions for 38 yards and 8.9 fantasy points in an indoor divisional clash at New Orleans. Until that promised volume materializes on the field, Pitts profiles as a volatile streamer who requires a touchdown to deliver starting value.

Brian Robinson at New Orleans — Touchdown-Dependent Reserve Value
Operating as the clear backup behind Bijan Robinson, Brian has carved out a regular rotational role in Atlanta's backfield. Through three games, he has averaged 10 carries per contest and 4.4 yards per rush, punctuated by a seven-yard touchdown run against Green Bay. Atlanta continues to deploy him as a downhill change-of-pace option when giving Bijan a breather.
Facing the Saints inside the Caesars Superdome, Robinson's standalone fantasy value remains severely limited by a lack of passing-down usage. Our weekly projection forecasts 4.6 fantasy points on roughly 28 rushing yards across 7 carries. Rostered in just 13% of leagues and started in 2%, he remains a touchdown-or-bust desperation play who belongs on fantasy benches as an elite contingency stash.
