Kyle Pitts Sr. vs. Bears — Momentum Building in High-Scoring Home Matchup
Operating as Atlanta's primary tight end, Pitts is flashing signs of life after a sluggish start to the year. Over his last two contests, he has hauled in eight of nine targets for 89 yards and secured his first touchdown of the season. With Michael Penix Jr. under center, Pitts' weekly involvement is finally trending in the right direction.
Facing Chicago in a home matchup with elevated scoring expectations, Pitts brings upside back to fantasy lineups. While managers have grown cautious—dropping his start rate down near 31%—our weekly projection expects roughly three receptions for 35 yards and eight fantasy points. In a thin tight end landscape, his red-zone involvement makes him a viable start.

Outlook A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Activated Ahead of Divisional Clash with the Jets
Brown has officially been activated from injured reserve after missing four games with an ankle sprain and is expected to play a good amount Sunday against the Jets. He immediately resumes his spot as Drake Maye's primary perimeter target on the depth chart. While the Patriots could manage his route participation slightly in his first game back, his return instantly elevates the entire offense.
Our weekly projections slot him for around 4.5 receptions, 65 yards, and 13.8 fantasy points on nearly seven targets. With his start rate already climbing to 33% following his activation, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a strong WR2 or flex option.
