Pitts secured two of three targets for 16 yards in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts came into the night in the midst of a productive stretch where he'd recorded at least six receptions and 57 yards in four straight contests, but he endured a notable downturn on what was a quiet night for the air attack overall. Taken in the context of Kirk Cousins throwing for only 126 yards on 13 completions, Pitts' modest numbers are a bit more understandable, and he'll look to improve on what is already a career-best 82-870-5 line in the Week 18 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Pitts (knee) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's game against Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts was limited in practice both Friday and Saturday, but he'll continue playing through the knee injury that also bothered him during Atlanta's previous two practice weeks. The starting tight end will look to stay hot despite a difficult matchup against the Rams' stingy defense. Through five appearances since Kirk Cousins took over as Atlanta's starting quarterback, Pitts has racked up an outstanding 33-420-4 receiving line on 44 targets.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts was not listed on Thursday's estimated injury report, but with the Falcons logging on-field work one day later, his limitations may just be maintenance for the knee issue that bothered him before both of the last two games. In any case, the starting tight end's activity level during Saturday's session will be monitored closely. Pitts has broken out in a massive way across his last four regular-season appearances, in which span he's averaged 98.8 receiving yards per game and recorded four touchdowns.

Pitts corralled seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

The Falcons welcomed back No. 1 wideout Drake London (knee) from a four-game absence, but Pitts maintained his elevated role in Atlanta's passing game with Kirk Cousins under center. The 24-year-old Pitts was averaging 8.8 targets in the four games London missed, and the former's nine targets finished behind only RB Bijan Robinson's 11 on Sunday. The 2021 first-round pick is starting to play like one by averaging 98.8 yards with four total touchdowns over his last four starts. A red-hot Pitts will attempt to keep things rolling against the Rams next Monday.

Pitts (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

The Falcons added Pitts to their injury report mid-week, listing him as a limited participant Thursday and Friday. The lack of game designation suggests Pitts will be ready for his usual near-every-down role against an ice-cold defense, but it remains to be seen if the tight end can keep his hot streaking going with WR Drake London (questionable - knee) potentially returning from a four-game absence.

Pitts was a limited practice participant Thursday due to a knee injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts experienced some practice restrictions last week due to a knee issue, but he still was able to suit up Week 15 at Tampa Bay and produce the signature performance of his career with 11 catches (on 12 targets) for 166 yards and three touchdowns. Friday's injury report not only will unveil if Pitts enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest at Arizona, but if top WR Drake London has a chance to put an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL injury.

Pitts brought in 11 of 12 targets for 166 yards and three touchdowns in the Falcons' 29-28 win over the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

EDGE Analysis

The oft-maligned tight end delivered exactly the type of performance that many assumed would be his standard following his selection with the fourth overall pick back in the 2021 Draft. Pitts set new single-game career highs with all three components of his receiving line, and he recorded his touchdown grabs from eight, 17 and seven yards out. He spectacularly snapped a nine-game TD drought in the process, and after topping out at 70 receiving yards over his first 11 games, the fifth-year pro has now recorded at least 82 such yards in three consecutive contests. Pitts will try to put together a fitting encore against the Cardinals when the Falcons pay a visit to Arizona for a Week 16 matchup on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Pitts (knee) is listed as active Thursday at Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts closed Week 15 prep as questionable to play after being listed as limited on all three practice reports due to a knee injury. It won't stop him from suiting up Thursday, though, and with WR Drake London (knee) missing a fourth game in a row, Pitts is in line to serve as one of the top pass catchers for QB Kirk Cousins. On the first three occasions, Pitts recorded a cumulative 15-197-0 line on 23 targets.

Pitts (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts has been listed as limited on all three Week 15 practice reports due to a knee injury, leaving his status up in the air for Thursday. During Drake London's (knee) current three-game absence that is extending to four contests this week, Pitts has been more active in the passing game, with a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets during that span. Assuming Pitts is able to suit up, he'll remain a key target for QB Kirk Cousins.

Pitts (knee) was a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough practice.

EDGE Analysis

Pitts has yet to be listed as a full participant on the Falcons' Week 15 practice reports, but his ability to get in a limited session Tuesday inspires confidence that he'll be able to play Thursday against the Buccaneers. With top wideout Drake London (knee) missing the last three games, Pitts has taken on a more prominent role in the passing attack, producing a 15-197-0 line on 23 targets. London has yet to resume practicing since suffering a PCL injury in Week 11 and is trending toward another absence Thursday, so Pitts once again shapes up as a solid fantasy option at tight end in Week 15.
