Tight End Usage Trends
Colston Loveland leads all tight ends in snaps after posting 24.0 fantasy points in his first five games and then 18.5 points in a recent outing. He ranks fifth in end zone targets with four but sits 21st in receiving yards. Loveland is viewed as a mid-to-back-end TE1 versus a defense that has allowed only one tight end to reach 8.0 fantasy points. Kyle Pitts Sr. improved across recent weeks with lines of 3-47-0, 5-42-1 and 5-60-2, and he played on a season-high 76 percent of snaps last Sunday.
Receiver Shadow Situations
Christian Gonzalez could shadow Rome Odunze, who lines up on the perimeter 77 percent of the time. Gonzalez has already shadowed Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf. Germie Bernard posted an 11-of-12 line for 87 yards and a touchdown in Week 6 after a 6-80-0 effort the prior week, with 85 percent route participation and 28 percent target share over that stretch.
Game Totals and Probabilities
The PIT-NO contest carries an over/under of 49.7 with the Steelers at 81 percent win probability. SF-ATL sits at 50.7 with the 49ers at 73 percent. CLE-TEN projects at 32.6, the lowest total, while IND-MIN is 41.9. MIA-NYJ is 38.6 with the Jets at 82 percent win probability. Several other games feature over/unders between 38.6 and 50.7.
