Kyle Pitts, Frank Darby, and Qadree Ollison have all been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. Pitts said to media members that he will play this weekend and has a shot to break the rookie tight end record for receiving yards. However, if Pitts were unable to go this weekend, Hayden Hurst would likely step into the primary tight end role with Lee Smith and Parker Hesse available to back him up. Hurst would need to be considered in DFS contests as a value option in an offense that heavily relies on its tight ends in the passing game. Darby is expected to serve as receiver depth and his potential absence would not be DFS relevant. The same could be said for Ollison who is expected to serve as running back depth.
