        That's four games of 1 reception or fewer among the past five contests. It also marks five straight games of less than 30 yards receiving.

        Pitts shouldn't be in fantasy lineups for a Week 17 visit to Washington, though we're betting on more Atlanta passing volume for what should be a more competitive game.
