MyCole Pruitt News
Free-agent tight end MyCole Pruitt agreed to terms on an undisclosed deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, according to a source. Pruitt will reunite with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith after working with him in both Tennessee and Atlanta. The 32-year-old veteran had 25 receptions on 33 targets for 260 yards and five touchdowns in 30 games (12 starts) in the last two years with the Falcons. The former fifth-round pick (143rd overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2015 out of Southern Illinois has mostly been a blocking tight end in his nine years in the NFL and has never really been on the fantasy radar. In Pittsburgh, both Pruitt and Darnell Washington will pair to provide blocking for the team's running game, with Pat Freiermuth to continue his role as the primary pass-catching tight end.
Atlanta Falcons tight end MyCole Pruitt found the end zone in the team's 30-17 Week 18 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran tight end caught three of five targets for 34 receiving yards against Tampa Bay. He scored 10.9 half-point PPR fantasy points in the game, a season-high. Furthermore, Pruitt's five targets were the third-most on the team, only behind Drake London (eight) and Olamide Zaccheaus (seven). Since taking over for an injured Kyle Pitts (knee), the veteran has averaged six fantasy points per game, scoring three touchdowns. Pruitt ended the year with four receiving touchdowns, the most on the team, despite having only 16 receptions this season.
Atlanta Falcons tight end MyCole Pruitt has taken over as the starter with Kyle Pitts (knee) out for the year. The veteran tight end has averaged five half-point PPR fantasy points per game since replacing Pitts as the starter. While he had a season-high 49 receiving yards last week against the Arizona Cardinals, Pruitt scored three total fantasy points over the previous two contests. Meanwhile, the veteran has a solid matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. The NFC South division winners have surrendered 11.1 fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, the eighth-most in the NFL. Furthermore, the Buccaneers have given up four receiving touchdowns to tight ends over the past six weeks. Pruitt isn't an ideal starter for season-long leagues, but a decent cheap DFS option for Week 18.
