Kyle Pitts' three touchdowns over the last two weeks make it look like he's back. He's fine as a back-end TE1, but don't expect more. The 49ers have yet to allow a tight-end touchdown and have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position (9.4).

49ers' elite TE defense and Pitts' third-place role limit ceiling upside.

Pitts faces a difficult Week 7 matchup against San Francisco despite three touchdowns over the last two weeks. The 49ers have yet to allow a tight-end touchdown and have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position (9.4). From a usage standpoint, Michael Penix Jr. has the league's highest rate of passes targeting his first read or designed throws (78.2%), limiting Pitts' opportunity. Drake London leads Atlanta with a 32% first-read share, while Pitts is third at 14.1%, behind Jahan Dotson. He's also tied with Dotson for third on the team in target share at 13.2%. The source cautions against expecting a ceiling game from Pitts.
