Kyle Pitts injury update draws attention for Falcons TE with fantasy news

You never want to see your key fantasy player pop up on the injury report in the middle of a week.

That's what happened to Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts on Friday.

Pitts was a full participant in Thursday's practice with no injury designation.

On Friday, Pitts was added to the list as a limited participant with a knee injury.

The Falcons don't play until Monday night this week, so they'll have another day of an injury report on Saturday. Pitts' status on that will be telling.

If he was denoted as limited on Friday because he got hurt midway through practice, there's no way to know for sure how bad it is until he does or doesn't practice on Saturday.

And if Pitts is questionable, that gets tricky for fantasy managers who are counting on him on Monday night in the last game of the week.

Is Kyle Pitts playing this week?

We simply don't know yet.

We'll have a better idea from Saturday's injury report.

His backup tight end with the Falcons, Charlie Woerner, isn't a bad player and would see a lot of snaps if Pitts sits.
