Pitts has now caught four touchdowns in the past three games and is just one score away from matching his career high for a single season. The inability to turn him into a real red zone threat in years prior was one of the most baffling subplots for the Falcons from 2021-2025, but Tommy Rees and Michael Penix Jr. appear to be solving that conundrum. While he had a relatively quiet day, he had a few important short grabs, none more than the touchdown.

Scored 2 touchdowns in Week 7 game against 49ers and is now approaching tight end 1-2 border in fantasy value. One TD came on play-action from right formation to left sideline; Pitts performs best within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage and is seeing increased involvement in the Falcons' quick-hitting offensive scheme rather than being sent deep downfield. Featured prominently in the Falcons' play-action heavy game plan.

Kyle Pitts has historically been productive on National Tight Ends Day, most notably with a dominant 163-yard performance during his rookie season. He's building on a strong fourth-quarter performance against the Bears that helped the Falcons roar back from a 24-point deficit. The source suggests if that late-game performance can be a springboard into four quarters of similar production against the 49ers, it'll increase the odds of the Falcons pulling off the upset.

Pitts is positioned to capitalize on National Tight Ends Day (Sunday) and has historically been productive on this occasion, most notably with a dominant 163-yard performance during his rookie season. He built on this momentum with a strong fourth-quarter performance against the Bears that helped the Falcons roar back from a 24-point deficit. The source suggests if Pitts can extend that late-game production into four quarters against the 49ers, it will significantly increase the Falcons' odds of pulling off the upset.

Pitts' usage has trended up over the last two games as TE7 and TE2 in weekly scoring. Since Week 5, he has 67.1% route share, 71.1% snap rate, 19.1% target share, 1.92 YPRR, five red zone targets, and 20% first-read share—all outstanding metrics. However, the source advises sitting Pitts this week. San Francisco has the tenth-highest rate of single high (55.7%); since Week 5, against single high, Pitts has only 10% TPRR and 0.25 YPRR. The 49ers have also held tight ends to the seventh-fewest yards per target and second-fewest fantasy points per opportunity.

Kyle Pitts had his two best games over the last two weeks, but the source expresses caution about the sustainability of this production. He was not part of the base game plan last week, receiving only three targets before the fourth quarter, then scoring two touchdowns in garbage time. While his target share has increased, the source questions whether this represents a real role shift or merely the byproduct of a lopsided game script. Against the 49ers, the source is hesitant to trust Pitts because of Fred Warner's coverage ability, noting he doesn't expect Pitts to perform well against Warner regardless of recent production.

Carnell Tate targets Kyle Pitts over 39.5 receiving yards in Week 7 vs. Steelers, contingent on Agbuka's injury status. Agbuka has been a DMP all week with concussion and foot injury; if he doesn't play, Pitts gets a top-10 matchup for tight ends. Pitts historically steps up when his top wide receiver is out, becoming the focal point of the offense rather than a role player. Baker Mayfield's return adds to target opportunity.
