The Falcons are once again stepping into thunderdome against fantasy football enthusiasts over their usage of Kyle Pitts. While Pitts didn't log a catch owing to penalties and the team not looking his way, the trend line I'm more interested in is this: His playing time keeps falling week-after-week, going from 54 snaps in Week 1 to 38 in Week 4, and his percentage of playing time is falling even when you account for variable team snaps week to week. With the offense still scuffling, it would be great if Pitts could be more involved, but at least to this point that hasn't been a clear priority for Atlanta.
The priority is feeding the three top receivers, who played almost every snap yet again. McCloud has been as big of a piece of the puzzle as advertised and London is hyper-reliable, but I'm maybe most impressed by how fluid and quick Mooney has looked. While I do think Pitts will become more involved, your top three targets are right here, and Bijan Robinson is probably #4 most weeks.
Speaking of Bijan, he actually ceded real playing time to Allgeier this week, something that obviously bears watching. He's still a major piece of the passing game and should have had a touchdown - thanks, officials - but the past two weeks have seen Allgeier pick up 92 rushing yards on 15 carries versus Robinson's 59 yards on 23 carries. Anyone clamoring for an even split between the two running backs is getting a rather stark picture.
