Pitts has Tua's preseason connection; Steelers' secondary depleted with 3-4 new starters.

Kyle Pitts was a solid mid-TE1 draft pick with significant upside in Week 1 against Pittsburgh. During preseason, Tua Tagovailoa connected primarily with Pitts despite struggling overall in warm-up games. The Steelers will have three new starters in their secondary compared to last season's Week 1 lineup and could have four if Joey Porter Jr. doesn't play due to a back injury. Pittsburgh is also without DeShon Elliott on injured reserve. The Steelers were one of the most fantasy-friendly teams to tight ends in 2025, surrendering 16.7 PPR fantasy points per game (third-most in NFL).
