Kyle Pitts (hamstring) ruled out for Falcons versus Buccaneers
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is ruled out for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
What It Means:
Pitts missed practice all week and he will not be available on Sunday afternoon. The Falcons don't have another tight end on the roster worthy of fantasy consideration, but Drake London and Olamide Zaccheaus should see larger roles.
Pitts is second on the Falcons this season with a 23.2% target share and he has played 75.8% of the offensive snaps. The Buccaneers have allowed the fifth-most FanDuel points to the tight end position this season.
