Kyle Pitts will NOT play on the franchise tag this year, signing a three-year extension to keep him in Atlanta. I was bullish on Pitts this year, given how Kevin Stefanski's offense leans on the TE position, but this extension only increases his dynasty value. Stefanski made good TEs successful with bad QB play (look at Harold Fannin last year), and Pitts should take another step this year. Buy!

Yesterday was rough day in the NFL, both from an injuries and from a "fun to watch" standpoint. Offenses tripped in week 2 after charging out of the gate in week 1.
On the injury front:
Caleb Williams suffered a dramatic hamstring injury.
Jayden Daniels had a gruesome left arm injury.
Jayden Reed hurt his neck.
Rico Dowdle hurt his toe early and reaggravated it after returning to the game.
Dallas Goedert hurt his knee
Jadarian Price hurt his chest
Backup backup backup backup receiver Demarcus Robinson left the game with an ankle injury
Well, the Vikings new look offense didn't last long, with Mason missing the next 4 games. DeeJay Dallas is elevated, but this analyst wonders if we see rookie Demond Claiborne get some opportunity earlier than expected. Monitoring the situation...
Another matchup that should be wild from a fantasy perspective is Dolphins vs. Titans. Malik Willis, Malik Washington, Devon Achane, Greg Dulcich, WanDale Robinson, the Titans' RB room... will they score 0 or 40?
We will find out.
Schefter states Nabers' outlook is "murky at best." To me, that means all systems go for Isaiah Likely in the Giants' passing attack.
AJ Brown. Still being under-drafted. Eagles fans still passionately delusional about the impact.
