STACKED’s take
Pitts' fantasy bagel and Carolina's historical dominance make him a stream-over candidate.
Pitts is a fade due to playing in an atrocious Falcons offense and facing a historically brutal matchup against Carolina. In Week 1, third-string QB Cooper Rush posted the lowest passer rating (51.9), completion rate over expected (-21.3%), and success rate (30.8%) in the league, connecting on just 12 of 22 passes—none of which went to Pitts, who posted a fantasy bagel on just one target. Rush is likely to start again in Week 2, and the source is uncomfortable starting Pitts even when Tua Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. returns until the offense functions at a reasonable level. Additionally, Carolina has a long history of turning Pitts into a fantasy bust. In 10 games against his division rival, Pitts has topped nine fantasy points just once (Week 8, 2022) and averaged 6.1 fantasy points per game in the matchup, with fewer than six points in five of their last six meetings. There are no green flags and plenty of red ones.
