Pitts continues to split snaps with Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley due to the latter two's blocking abilities, which has influenced Pitts' snap and route participation rates during the second half of the season. Kirk Cousins and an extremely positive game environment did the athletic tight end no favors, which combined to limit the Falcons to just 17 pass attempts. 2024 will go down as a massive bust for the once-promising tight end prospect.
Charlie Woerner caught a ball before Pitts and ended up tying him in receptions. Pitts now has one-or-zero grabs in four of his past five appearances. The six targets were an increase on what Pitts has seen of late, but they were of low quality. One was a sailed Kirk Cousins interception. Another was a failed end zone connection. Yet another was a Pitts drop. Just awful, awful stuff from all involved. Cousins is now on weekly benching watch, but especially with bye weeks finally over, Pitts is struggling to even remain in the top 20 at tight end heading into Week 15 against the Raiders.
