Bhayshul Tuten
vs Kyle Pitts Sr.

“Tuten is not really that productive with all of his touches, and all it takes is one big game from Chris Rodriguez for this to turn into a full RBBC. Tuten has had a long leash, but he is not getting the job done; trade him now for a player like Michael Wilson . If you hold Tuten, soon his trade value will be Marvin Harrison Jr.”

“Watching Tuten get two touchdowns whipped off the board by holding calls and then watching Chris Rodriguez score last week made my face melt. Tuten finished with a disappointing 19 touches and 91 total yards when the fantasy box score should have been more grand. Tuten still finished with a season-high 59% snap share, 68% designed carry share, and 40.7% route share.”

“Tuten has been super consistent thus far for Jacksonville, gathering at least 15 carries in three of his first four whilst averaging 4.6 yards per attempt. Getting involved in this Jacksonville offense is a wise decision, and getting hold of the RB1 for this offense will provide long-term value. Use Matthew Golden , Kyle Monangai , Emanuel Wilson , or Xavier Worthy with all of his hype to land Tuten this week.” – Ed Birdsall ( Talking Points Sports )”

“Tuten is second in the NFL in success rate as a runner (50%) despite getting hit at the line or in the backfield on 48% of his runs. He is averaging 4.02 yards after contact per rush, fourth in the league. Tuten is a screaming buy who could be electric if he gets targets.”

“Bhayshul Tuten is in a split backfield, but just like Kyren Williams and D’Andre Swift , it usually doesn’t matter. When you’re the lead back, even in a split backfield, on a high-scoring offense, you’re going to score points. It might be frustrating to watch the backup running back steal a valuable touchdown from time to time, but that comes with the territory.”

“Bhayshul Tuten ranks as a low-end RB2 and a potential buy-low candidate with 31 opportunities through the first two weeks.”

“Bhayshul Tuten has seen consistency in his workload through two games, with designed carry shares of 51.7% and 54.2% and route shares of 34.5% and 33.3%. He has averaged 15.5 touches and 75 total yards while splitting the red zone rushing role with Chris Rodriguez (each has two red zone rushing attempts). Tuten has been stellar on a per-rush basis.”

“One of the biggest worries of the offseason centered around the backfield split for Jacksonville, and primarily whether or not Bhayshul Tuten would be the preferred option for the Jaguars around the goal line over Chris Rodriguez . While Rodriguez has been involved to a minor degree for the Jags, it has been Tuten who was able to find the end zone this week and has overall dominated the touches in this offense. Maybe more importantly, Tuten’s TD carry came from short yardage, which should probably be the larger worry where C-Rod would be involved.”

“Pitts has a 53.7% snap rate, a 58.9% route share, only a 7.6% target share with 0.38 YPRR, zero red zone targets, one deep target, and an 8.3% first-read share. Last week, with Michael Penix, Kyle Pitts had an 8% target share, five receiving yards, and a 5% first-read share. Until his usage trends upward, he’s a weekly sit.”

“Kyle Pitts – 2 targets, 1 rec Pitts, on the other hand, has been disappointingly consistent through three weeks. He has yet to top three targets in a game and has a meager 8% target share. Even with Michael Penix Jr . giving Atlanta’s offense life, Pitts has been unplayable for fantasy football.”

“Kyle Pitts has been an afterthought to begin the season.”

“Pitts has a 7.4% target share, 0.41 YPRR, zero red zone targets, one deep target, and a 10% first-read share (third on the team behind Drake London and Jahan Dotson ). I’m hesitant to plug Pitts back into a lineup this week. Green Bay has held tight ends to the 13th-fewest yards per target while ranking 16th in fantasy points per opportunity allowed to the position.”

“Kyle Pitts has just one 15-yard catch on four targets over the first two weeks, but the Falcons’ passing game has been nonexistent with Cooper Rush at quarterback. Michael Penix Jr. could return from his knee injury and take over as the Falcons’ quarterback as early as this week against the Packers. Pick up another tight end to staunch the bleeding if you must, but don’t release Pitts yet unless you have only a small handful of bench spots.”

“Pitts is coming off a season where he posted a 90% route rate and a TE4 finish in PPR points per game. Sure, he’s a frustrating asset to own, but most tight ends are. I’m not moving Pitts down in my dynasty ranks based on this one performance.”

“I think it transfers over to 2026. -Derek Brown Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Last season, Kyle Pitts finished as the TE2 in total fantasy points.”

“Pittsburgh Steelers Kyle Pitts was a polarizing draft pick.”

“The Falcons don’t have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London , so Kyle Pitts could very well be Atlanta’s No.”
