Saints matchup is giving the Falcons a chance to (finally) unleash Kyle Pitts

Blogging Dirty argues that the Atlanta Falcons have an ideal opportunity to involve tight end Kyle Pitts in their Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints. Pitts has seen limited production early in the season, tallying just two catches for 20 yards on six targets across his appearances. Writer Garrett Klaus highlights that the Saints defense has surrendered 247 receiving yards to opposing tight ends, ranking fourth-most in the NFL.

According to Klaus, Atlanta's offense needs to deliberately design targets and move Pitts around the formation to establish his presence. The writer notes that increasing Pitts's role could provide valuable support for quarterback Michael Penix Jr. making his second start of the season.
