Kyle Pitts Sr. vs CHI: Streaming Value in a Projected Shootout

Pitts enters Week 6 as Atlanta's top tight end after recording five catches for 42 yards and his first touchdown of the season. His involvement has quietly rebounded over the past two weeks, earning nine targets and securing eight receptions to regain trust in the passing attack.

Facing Chicago at home in a game projected to be high-scoring, our models project Pitts for 2.9 receptions, 35.2 receiving yards, and 7.9 fantasy points. While fantasy manager start rates have dipped to 31%, his recent red-zone usage makes him a solid streaming option with upside.

Outlook Germie Bernard

Germie Bernard at Tampa Bay — Surging Target Share Creates Flex Appeal

Bernard steps into an elevated role in Pittsburgh's passing attack with Michael Pittman Jr. sidelined on injured reserve and Roman Wilson doubtful. The rookie built instant trust with Aaron Rodgers, commanding nine targets and converting them into six catches for 80 yards in Week 5 to prompt a dramatic leap in fantasy rostership.

Our weekly projections slate Bernard for roughly 3.5 receptions and 40 yards (9.0 fantasy points) in Tampa Bay. While a modest projected scoring total caps ceiling expectations, his secure snaps alongside DK Metcalf establish him as a viable flex option.
