Since Week 4, Pitts has been the TE6 in fantasy points per game with a 17.2% target share, 2.09 YPRR, six red zone targets, and a 19.3% first-read share. The source was low on Pitts last week due to the 49ers' tough coverage structure, but Atlanta changed his usage against single-high, giving him a 27% TPRR. The source notes Pitts could see that type of usage again this week against single-high heavy Tampa Bay (60.4% single-high rate). Tampa Bay has allowed solid production to tight ends in their last five games (14th-most yards per target, 12th-most fantasy points per opportunity), and Pitts annihilated the Bucs last year, finishing as the TE7 and TE1 in their two meetings.

Pitts is a safe start against Tampa Bay, where he's shown a strong career track record averaging 5.5 receptions per game for 78.6 yards and 0.8 touchdowns. While the Buccaneers' defense ranks second-best against the pass in EPA allowed and third-best against the run, they are vulnerable to tight ends, allowing the ninth-most points to the position. Three tight ends have caught six or more passes against them, four have 42+ receiving yards, and five have found the end zone. With Pitts the fantasy TE5 since Week 4, he's finally showing consistency even when Drake London is on the field, making this an especially good matchup to feel comfortable starting him.

Since Week 4, Pitts has been TE6 in fantasy points per game with a 17.2% target share, 2.09 YPRR, six red zone targets, and a 19.3% first-read share. Last week against the 49ers, Atlanta changed his usage against single high, as he had a 27% TPRR against that coverage structure. It's possible he could see that type of usage again this week against Tampa Bay, which has the fourth-highest single-high rate in the NFL (60.4%). Tampa Bay has allowed solid production to tight ends in their last five games, surrendering the 14th-most yards per target and the 12th-most fantasy points per opportunity to the position. Additionally, Pitts annihilated the Bucs last year, finishing as TE7 and TE1 in weekly scoring against them in their two meetings.

Pitts also dominated the Bucs last year, finishing as the TE7 and TE1 in weekly scoring against them in their two meetings.

Star tight end with multiple touchdown receptions; caught his fourth touchdown pass in three games on a play-action rollout where he ran a crosser to the left side, gaining leverage from misdirection. On a ten-play, 59-yard scoring drive, Pitts combined with London for five receptions for 38 yards, used largely on short outs and hitches, and produced solid gains on screens. The dynamic tight end remains capable of breaking out monster performances within the Falcons' methodical, efficiency-focused offensive scheme.
PositiveProjectionOct 29, 2026Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz
Ranked tight end 9 returning to top 10 against Tampa Bay defense. Pitts posted 166 yards and 3 TDs in a prior matchup against this group. Recent production surge: 14.8 PPR points per game since Week 4 (tied for 6th-best at position) after 20 scoreless yards in Weeks 1-3. Ian Hartitz sees potential game script advantage if Baker Mayfield and the Falcons are forced to throw more than usual in their run-heavy offense.
