Pitts surging with 5-60-2 line in Week 6; downgraded vs. 49ers' TE defense.

After a slow start (2-20-0 on six targets through three games), Pitts has surged with 3-47-0 on three targets in Week 4, 5-42-1 on six targets in Week 5, and 5-60-2 on seven targets in Week 6. His route participation has stabilized over the past two weeks, and he played a season-high 76% of snaps last Sunday. While his usage remains below last season's levels, his connection with Michael Penix Jr. is strong enough to get him back into the weekly TE1 discussion. However, the source downgrades him for Week 7 against San Francisco, which has allowed zero touchdowns and the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season; only Trey McBride and Chig Okonkwo have cleared 5.0 points against them.
