Kyle Pitts is dealing with a knee injury for Week 15. We break down what it means for fantasy football decisions.

The Buccaneers fell to 7-7, a half-game behind the Panthers in the NFC South. It has been a tough time for Cousins, who was benched last season and lost his job.

Kyle Pitts had himself a stellar first half against the Buccaneers on Thursday. During the Week 15 “Thursday Night Football” matchup, the Falcons tight end racked up 111 yards on six receptions with two receiving touchdowns through the first two quarters.
