Kyle Pitts hauled in just *one* reception for a measly *five yards* during the Falcons’ Week 3 win against the Green Bay Packers. Seriously, what are we even doing here?
Another Ghost Performance
Talk about a total no-show. Pitts was targeted just twice the entire game. Twice! And he pulled in only one of those for that pitiful five-yard gain. This isn’t just a quiet game for the guy, it’s practically a witness protection program performance. Remember how hyped everyone was for Michael Penix Jr.’s return? It was huge for Drake London, absolutely fired him up. Bijan Robinson was getting his touches, too. But the ripple effect? It stopped dead right before it got to Pitts. It’s like he was on another field. How do you have a comeback performance for the offense, and your supposed star tight end just… vanishes?
Three Games, Twenty Yards? Seriously?
Look, the Week 3 stat line isn’t some random fluke. It’s the latest chapter in a seriously rough start. Through three games this season, Pitts has a combined total of *two* receptions for a grand total of *twenty* yards. Read that again: TWENTY. YARDS. That’s not a typo, people. For a guy who was drafted to be an absolute cornerstone, a matchup nightmare every single week, this is just mind-blowing. If you’re a fantasy owner out there, you probably shelled out for him as your unquestioned TE1. Right now, you’re either pulling your hair out or already scouting the waiver wire for anything. It feels too early to just cut the guy, yeah, you gotta resist that urge for now, but the patience? It’s wearing thinner than a well-loved jersey, and fast.
So, where do the Falcons go from here with Pitts? They’ve gotta figure out how to get him involved, how to make him more than just a guy standing on the field. Because right now, the numbers are screaming that something has to change, and it needs to change quick, before this whole ‘invisible’ act defines his entire season. Get this man the ball!
