KYLE PITTS NEWS

Four grabs in Sunday's loss Pitts caught four of six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Impact The fourth-year tight end bounced back from a Week 9 game in which he saw only one target, although Pitts' production Sunday was still nothing special. Over the last six games, he's delivered a 26-380-2 line on 34 targets, and he'll try to find another gear in Week 11 on the road against the Broncos.

Avoids injury designation Pitts (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact WR Drake London, on the other hand, is listed as questionable with a hip injury. London and Pitts both were limited practice participants Wednesday and Thursday, but the tight end upgraded to full participation Friday while his teammate remained limited. Although fellow tight end Charlie Woerner has eaten into Pitts' playing time recently, Pitts had four straight weeks with at least five targets and 70 receiving yards prior to falling flat last Sunday against the Cowboys (one catch for 11 yards on one target). Any limitations for London would improve Pitts' chances to see more first-read targets and get back on track for fantasy managers.

Stays limited Thursday Pitts (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Impact One day removed from being estimated as a limited participant due to a hamstring issue, Pitts officially had a cap on his reps Thursday as the Falcons got back on the practice field. He thus has only more chance to prove his health this week before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans. WR Drake London (hip pointer) also is banged-up, so the statuses of the team's top two pass catchers is up in the air for Week 10 action.

Tending to hamstring issue Pitts was estimated as limited on Wednesday's practice report due to a hamstring injury, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.

Impact Both Pitts and the Falcons' No. 1 WR Drake London (hip) received the same listing, leaving the statuses of the team's top two pass catchers up in the air for Week 10 action. Pitts will have two more opportunities this week in which to log a full practice or otherwise risk heading into the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in New Orleans.

One catch in win Pitts secured his lone target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Pitts was basically an afterthought against the Cowboys on Sunday, as his one target in the contest was his lowest total of the season. Teammate Drake London (hop) exited the game, and could be in danger of missing Week 10. If London is sidelined, Pitts could see a boost in targets, which could provide for a big bounce-back week. Through nine games, the 24-year-old has totaled 50 receptions for 552 yards and six touchdowns, puttin him on pace to have his most productive season in his three-year career. Pitts and the Falcons will visit the Saints in Week 10.

Impact Pitts led the Falcons in receptions, receiving yards and targets across the board while also tying a season high in catches. The gifted tight end appears to have found his groove in coordinator Zac Robinson's offense, as he now boasts three straight games with at least Sunday's 65 receiving yards and has brought in 17 of 22 targets in that span. Pitts should have a key role once again during a key Week 8 NFC South clash against the Buccaneers in Tampa.

Rips off big gain in win Pitts had three receptions on five targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Panthers.

Impact Pitts did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception that wound up being the longest play of the game. Atlanta's rushing attack finished off most of Sunday's offensive drives, so the improving tight end remains scoreless since his Week 1 touchdown against Pittsburgh. Pitts has strung together a pair of solid receiving lines since getting shut out in Week 4, restoring faith in fantasy managers ahead of next Sunday's tilt against the Seahawks.
