Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (hamstring) @ New Orleans Saints
Date/Time: Sunday, 1:00 pm Eastern
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts appeared as a limited participant on the Week 10 Wednesday injury report with his fourth recorded hamstring strain, marking his second hamstring injury of 2024. He remained limited on Thursday as well. Pitts suffered a well-known PCL and MCL injury in November 2022.

As long as Pitts can practice, fantasy managers should start the volatile TE1 although recurring hamstring issues could make him an ideal sell-high candidate after a strong performance. He faces a somewhat fantasy-unfriendly schedule in Weeks 11-14 (at Denver Broncos, bye week, vs. Los Angeles Chargers and at Minnesota) before reaching a softer season-ending stretch (at Las Vegas Raiders, vs. New York Giants and at Washington Commanders).
With No. 1 wide receiver Drake London (hip) also working through his own injury, No. 2 wide receiver Darnell Mooney should be rostered everywhere and started against a weakened New Orleans Saints cornerback corps.
