Falcons TE Kyle Pitts is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain on Sunday based on initial tests. He’ll have an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis.

Let's hope for a speedy recovery for the sophomore tight end, but in fantasy terms, this may be a blessing in disguise for managers who drafted him too early this summer. All Falcons TEs can now remain safely on waiver wires, as the Atlanta passing attack remains unlikely to contribute to fantasy teams.

Texans IR Tom Savage, Nick Martin and MyCole Pruitt.

This isn't really a shock as the team indicated it was a possibility. Yates will take over the rest of the way at QB. Savage is a free agent and may not be back next year. We had a report today that Deshaun Watson's ACL rehab is going well and is clearly slated to be the starter, so the Texans may be in the market for a backup heading into 2018.
