Pittsburgh's struggles against slot pass catchers should be something of a boon for Kyle Pitts, who last season ran 36 percent of his routes from the slot (and 44 percent from the in-line position). There's reason to believe Pitts will see his slot usage increase — even moderately — in Kevin Stefanski's offense.

Pitts faces weak Steelers slot coverage with expected increased slot usage.

Pittsburgh's struggles against slot pass catchers present a favorable Week 1 matchup for Pitts, who ran 36 percent of his routes from the slot and 44 percent from in-line last season. Pitts is expected to see his slot usage increase moderately in Kevin Stefanski's offense, and Tua Tagovailoa targeted him heavily in preseason and training camp 11-on-11s, adding another positive indicator for the tight end.
