Pitts didn't see a single target despite running 19 routes... the level of QB play wasn't up to NFL standards. Cooper Rush, the Falcons' No. 3, started the game... Ride it out until the Falcons can get more stability under center.

Pitts' zero targets were QB-dependent, not role-based; Panthers matchup offers reset opportunity.

Pitts didn't see a single target despite running 19 routes in Week 1 loss to the Steelers, but the source attributes this to QB play rather than role concerns. Cooper Rush, the Falcons' No. 3 QB, started due to injuries to Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee), completing just 54% of passes with two interceptions. The source cannot bench Pitts if Rush starts again. The Panthers present a much friendlier matchup in Week 2, and Rush is getting more practice reps with the No. 1 offense. Pitts stays in the lineup pending QB stability.
