Kyle Pitts vs. SF — Red-Zone Surge Sparks Starting Confidence in Potential Shootout
Pitts has come alive over his last two games, hauling in 10 of 13 targets for 102 yards and three touchdowns. Operating as Atlanta's clear lead tight end, fantasy managers have quickly restored trust in him, with his start rate jumping to 58%.
Facing the undefeated 49ers in a projected high-scoring home matchup, Atlanta should see plenty of passing volume to keep pace. Our weekly projection expects around 9.1 fantasy points on roughly four targets, keeping Pitts firmly in lineups as a strong starting tight end.

Jordan Watkins at Atlanta: Elevated Opportunity in a Depleted 49ers Receiving Corps
With both Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel Sr. ruled out due to injuries, the 49ers face significant attrition at wide receiver. Watkins, who logged starting reps recently and registered a 22-yard reception in his last outing, is positioned for an expanded perimeter role alongside Jacob Cowing in an offense needing perimeter playmakers.
In a game expected to be high-scoring against Atlanta, our projections forecast Watkins for roughly two catches and 31 yards, tallying approximately 5.9 fantasy points. While rostered in only 2% of leagues, his sudden spike in potential snaps makes him a viable deep-league dart throw, though standard-league managers should leave him on benches until target volume materializes.
