News

  • Plays small role in 2024

    Pruitt appeared in 12 regular-season games for Pittsburgh in 2024, making six catches (on 10 targets) for 40 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: Pruitt suffered a multi-week absence due to a knee injury, leading to his lowest reception and yardage totals since 2020. The 31-year-old is set to be an unrestricted free agent this spring and with Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth entrenched as the top two tight ends for the Steelers, it's unclear if Pruitt will be brought back.

  • Cleared for wild-card round

    Pruitt (knee) practiced in full Thursday and does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Ravens, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt was limited Tuesday then missed practice Wednesday, but his knee injury ultimately won't impact his availability for Saturday's road wild-card round matchup. Expect Pruitt to handle his usual depth role at tight end behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.

  • Downgrades to DNP

    Pruitt (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt was limited in practice Tuesday due to a knee issue, and he appears to have now taken a step backward in his recovery. If the veteran No. 3 tight end is unable to play during Saturday's wild-card road game against the Ravens, his absence will deplete Pittsburgh's depth behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.

  • Working through knee injury

    Pruitt (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Pruitt likely picked up the injury during the Steelers' Week 18 loss to the Bengals. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Saturday's wild-card game against the Ravens. For most of the 2024 regular season, Pruitt served as a blocking tight end and third on the Steelers' depth chart behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. Pruitt ended the regular season with six catches (on 10 targets) for 40 yards and one touchdown across 12 games in his first season…read more

  • Upgraded to full practice

    Pruitt (knee) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt was also listed with rest, so it sounds like he's going to be fine for Thursday night's divisional clash with the Browns. The Steelers' No. 4 tight end, Pruitt has two catches for 19 yards this season.

  • Still tending to injury

    Pruitt (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt is still working his way through a knee injury and was unable to suit up for Sunday's win over the Ravens. With Pittsburgh set to play the Browns on Thursday, the team didn't hold a practice, but Pruitt would not have participated if there had been one. Pruitt will have a chance to upgrade his participation when the Steelers hold what should be an actual practice Tuesday.

  • Inactive for Week 11

    Pruitt (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt missed practice all week due to a knee injury he aggravated in Week 10 against the Commanders. Given his lack of practice participation, Pruitt may also be in danger of missing the Steelers' Week 12 game against the Browns on Thursday, Nov. 21. The Steelers will roll with Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward as the three tight ends for Sunday's contest.

  • Doubtful for Sunday

    Pruitt (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt appears to have worsened his knee injury in the Steelers' Week 10 win over the Commanders, as he's been unable to practice all week and is likely in line to miss his fifth game of the season Sunday. If Pruitt is sidelined in Week 11 as expected, Pittsburgh's tight end room will consist of Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 32-year-old played through his knee injury in Sunday's win over the Commanders, failing to haul in his only target across 32 offensive snaps. Wednesday's DNP suggests that Pruitt may have worsened the injury in Week 10, and he'll likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to play in Week 11, when the Steelers host the Ravens.

  • Past knee injury

    Pruitt (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt popped up on the Steelers' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to a knee issue, but he then upgraded to a full practice Friday, suggesting that he's returned to full health. Expect the Southern Illinois product to serve as Pittsburgh's fourth-string tight end in Week 10, playing behind Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Pruitt (knee) did not practice Thursday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt initially suffered a knee injury in Week 2, causing him to miss four contests, but he was able to return to game action in Week 7. He wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday, so perhaps this is more of a rest day or Pruitt may have suffered an aggravation of some sort. Pruitt has played 42 percent of the offensive snaps in games he's been healthy for this season, catching two of three targets for 19 yards. He's mainly been a blocker.

  • Appears past knee injury

    Pruitt (knee) was listed as a full participant on the Steelers' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Week 2 against the Broncos, which has kept him sidelined for the Steelers' last four games. The veteran tight end seems to be over the issue, as he was able to practice without limitations Wednesday. Barring any setbacks, Pruitt should return for Week 7 against the Jets and serve in a depth role at tight end behind Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward.

  • Officially out versus Raiders

    Pruitt (knee) is out for Sunday's matchup against Las Vegas, according to the Steelers' official site.

    Analysis: Pruitt was a limited participant in each of the Steelers' practices this week, so his inactive designation doesn't come as too much of a surprise. The 6-foot-2 tight end hasn't played since Week 2 against the Broncos and has one catch for nine yards on the year.

  • Not expected to play Sunday

    Coach Mike Tomlin labeled Pruitt (knee) as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Missi Matthews of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's not an official designation, but it sounds like the Steelers don't expect Pruitt to return for Week 6. It would be Pruitt's fourth consecutive missed contest. The Steelers will continue to roll with Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward in Pruitt's absence.

    Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt sustained a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 2 win over the Broncos that has sidelined him for the team's last two games. The Southern Illinois product will likely have to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Steelers' Week 5 matchup against the Cowboys.

  • Remains out

    Pruitt (knee) will not play Sunday against the Colts, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt missed Week 3's win over the Chargers and hasn't practiced since suffering the injury. Fortunately, the Steelers, have enough depth at tight end to cover for Pruitt's absence. He has one catch on two targets for nine yards through two games. It's not clear how much longer the Southern Illinois product will remain sidelined, but his next opportunity to suit up will be Week 5 against the Cowboys.

    Pruitt (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: In Pittsburgh's heavy-tight end offense, Pruitt has played 68 offensive snaps and has recorded one catch for nine yards on two targets. With Pruitt out against Los Angeles, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward will soak up the snaps.

  • Sits out practice again

    Pruitt (knee) is not practicing Thursday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt has now missed back-to-back practices due to a knee issue, resulting in Pittsburgh's elevation of tight end Rodney Williams from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. If Pruitt isn't able to suit up Sunday versus the Chargers, Darnell Washington and Connor Heyward will figure to benefit most from increased opportunities behind Pat Freiermuth.

    Pruitt (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt likely suffered a knee injury during the Steelers' Week 2 win, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup with the Chargers. The 32-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3.

    Pruitt suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Broncos, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt was able to record a tackle in punt coverage Sunday, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury at some point along the way. The tight end's status should be updated when the team returns to practice Wednesday.

  • Held to nine yards in Week 1

    Pruitt secured one of two targets for nine yards during Sunday's 18-10 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Pruitt was on the field for 59 percent of the Steelers' offensive snaps Sunday, more than fellow reserve tight end Darnell Washington. Pruitt also had one more target than Washington, but both tight ends will likely have limited work in the passing game behind starter Pat Freiermuth this season. Pruitt secured nine of 12 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown while appearing in all 17 games with Atlanta last year, and he'll likely struggle to have a fantasy-relevant role once again in 2024.

  • Tallies one catch Saturday

    Pruitt secured his lone target for eight yards during Saturday's 9-3 preseason loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Pruitt wasn't targeted during the Steelers' preseason opener against Houston last weekend, but he recorded a catch during Saturday's low-scoring loss. He played 32 percent of the team's offensive snaps Saturday, but if he makes the 53-man roster, he's unlikely to see much playing time behind Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.

  • Joining Pittsburgh

    Pruitt signed with Pittsburgh on Thursday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt has consistently worked as a backup tight end, primarily as a blocker. He'll take on a similar role with the Steelers and should pair well with Darnell Washington to aid the run game. Pruitt is reunited with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith after also playing under him in Tennessee and Atlanta.

  • Career-high year in receiving

    Pruitt caught 16 of 21 targets for 150 yards and four scores across 13 appearances during the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: Pruitt signed with Atlanta's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster. However, following Kyle Pitts' knee injury in Week 11, Pruitt stepped up and made the most of his increased opportunity. He caught 12 of 17 targets for 119 yards and three touchdowns over the final six games of the season and ended the campaign with career highs in receptions, targets, receiving yards and touchdowns.

  • Season-high 49 receiving yards

    Pruitt caught all four of his targets for 49 yards during Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Pruitt notched season highs in targets, receptions and receiving yards during the Falcons' Week 17 win. Across 12 appearances, he's totaled 13 receptions on 16 targets for 116 yards and three touchdowns. He's been a touchdown-dependent streaming option in deeper leagues, but his overall value is diminished by Atlanta's lackluster passing attack. With Desmond Ridder at the helm, Pruitt has secured six of eight targets for 69 yards over the past three games, but he hasn't caught a touchdown since…read more

  • Snaps two-game touchdown streak

    Pruitt caught two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Pruitt caught at least one pass for a sixth straight game and finished with a season-high 20 receiving yards, but he snapped his two-game touchdown streak. Desmond Ridder failed to move the ball well through the air during his NFL debut, which limited all of Atlanta's pass catchers. Pruitt may have some value in deeper leagues, but he's likely a touchdown-dependent option moving forward.

  • Back-to-back games with a TD

    Pruitt caught his lone target for seven yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 19-16 loss versus the Steelers.

    Analysis: Pruitt's only target went for a seven-yard score in the third quarter, which gave him a touchdown in back-to-back games and cut Atlanta's deficit to 19-13. With Kyle Pitts (knee) out, the veteran tight end operated behind Parker Hesse but ahead of Anthony Firkser for a second straight game. Despite playing fewer snaps, Firkser and Pruitt continue to be slightly more involved in the passing game than Hesse, but all three will remain risky fantasy plays due to Arthur Smith's run-first mindset.

  • Catches touchdown in loss

    Pruitt gathered in two of three targets for nine yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 19-13 loss versus Washington.

    Analysis: With Kyle Pitts (knee) sidelined, Pruitt saw an increased role and secured Marcus Mariota's lone touchdown pass. Pruitt finished second among tight ends with 32 offensive snaps, which put him behind Parker Hesse (35) but ahead of Anthony Firkser (22). As long as Pitts is out, Hesse figures to lead the trio in snaps, but Pruitt will likely continue operating as the top pass catcher among the group.

  • Role to increase with Pitts out

    Pruitt will be among the group of players who are asked to step up in the absence of Kyle Pitts (knee), Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt saw an increased role after Pitts went down in Week 11 and finished with a season-high 30 offensive snaps, securing his lone target for 17 yards. With Pitts on IR, Atlanta will likely use a committee approach to replace the talented pass catcher. Parker Hesse, who's expected to operate as the No. 1 tight end in Pitts' absence, is mostly known as a blocker, so Pruitt, who's caught eight touchdowns over the past five seasons, could step up as the primary pass-catching tight end. However,…read more

  • Closes season with 14 catches

    Pruitt (ankle) recorded 14 catches for 145 yards and three touchdowns across 16 games in the 2021 season.

    Analysis: Pruitt suffered a severe ankle injury in Week 16, which cut short his most productive season as a pro. His best performance came early in Week 2 against Seattle, when he tallied three receptions for 43 yards. However, even prior to suffering the injury, his production had slowed, as he had failed to record multiple receptions in each of his final eight games.

  • Moves to injured reserve

    Pruitt (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt suffered a severe ankle injury Sunday against the Dolphins and was scheduled for surgery Monday, so it's no surprise he landed on injured reserve. Geoff Swaim and Anthony Firkser are the remaining tight ends on Tennessee's active roster, so the team is likely to add another tight end for depth in the near future with Pruitt expected out until next season.

  • Long absence expected

    Pruitt will have surgery on his ankle Monday and will miss extended time, John Glennon of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Given how the injury looked and this subsequent prognosis, it sounds as if Pruitt is unlikely to return even later in the playoffs. He ends the regular season with 14 catches on 18 targets for 145 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games. Anthony Firkser should see a bump in playing time, and the Titans will likely add a third tight end to the roster shortly.

    Pruitt is out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to an ankle injury, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt appeared to suffer a serious ankle injury in the second half of the game. He was carted off the field in an aircast and ruled out quickly thereafter. Anthony Firkser and Geoff Swaim should see an increased role in his absence.

  • One yard against Pittsburgh

    Pruitt recorded one catch on one target for one yard in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Pruitt was on the field for 34 percent of offensive snaps, good for second among the team's tight ends. However, his involvement in the passing game was minimal, and he has now been limited to one or fewer receptions in his last six contests.

    Pruitt recorded one reception on three targets for five yards in Sunday's 20-0 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Pruitt finished third among Tennessee's tight ends with three targets, though that was his highest total since Week 7. While Ryan Tannehill regularly targets his tight ends, Pruitt has recorded multiple receptions in a game only three times this season.

    Pruitt recorded one reception on two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 36-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Pruitt maintained his role primarily as a blocker among the team's tight-end corps. He was on the field for 27 offensive snaps (43 percent), working behind Geoff Swaim. Pruitt has earned multiple targets in only four games on the campaign.

  • Finds end zone

    Pruitt recorded one catch for two yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Pruitt was limited to one or fewer receptions in a game for the seventh time this season. However, he made his one catch count against the Saints, reaching the end zone on a play-action pass early in the third quarter. On the campaign, Pruitt has 11 receptions for 129 yards and three touchdowns across 10 games.

  • Totals 22 yards

    Pruitt recorded two receptions on two targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Pruitt was one of three Titans' tight ends to record a reception, though Geoff Swaim worked as the top player at the position. It was the second consecutive week that Pruitt has tallied multiple catches after failing to do so in five of the first six games of the season. Even so, with only 11 targets halfway through the campaign, Pruitt is unlikely to see reliable volume moving forward.

  • Scores again

    Pruitt recorded two receptions on three targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-3 win over Kansas City.

    Analysis: Pruitt matched his highest target total of the season. He got the Titans on the board with a five-yard touchdown reception from Derrick Henry on a trick play early in the first quarter. Pruitt also hauled in a 22-yard pass early in the second quarter to record his second gain of more than 20 yards on the campaign. Though he's now found the end zone in consecutive contests, Pruitt does not have a consistent enough role in the passing game to be a trustworthy producer.

  • Reaches end zone

    Pruitt recorded one reception on one target for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Pruitt found a soft spot in the Jaguars' zone defense midway through the second quarter to find the end zone on his lone reception of the game. It was his first touchdown of the season, and Pruitt has now seen only one target in three consecutive contests. Through five games, he has six receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown.

  • Totals seven yards

    Pruitt recorded one reception on one target for seven yards in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Pruitt was on the field for just over half of the team's offensive snaps as Anthony Firkser (knee) remained sidelined. His only reception of the game came relatively late in the fourth quarter, when he converted a first down to keep alive a drive that ultimately resulted in a field goal. Pruitt is primarily utilized as a blocker, though he did log three receptions in Week 2 against Seattle.

  • Sees increased opportunity

    Pruitt recorded three receptions on three targets for 43 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Pruitt benefitted from the absence of Anthony Firkser (knee) to log 55 snaps. While many of the targets of the offense were funneled to Julio Jones, A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry, Pruitt still served as the team's primary pass-catching tight end. Pruitt was particularly involved in the team's first drive of the second half, when he logged two of his receptions for 21 yards. Firkser did participate in two limited practices prior to being inactive for the Week 2 matchup, so he could be back for a…read more

    Pruitt was elevated from the Titans' practice squad ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Cardinals, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt joined the Titans' practice squad after he was cut by the 49ers at the end of August. He'll join the active roster to provide depth at tight end in the season opener since Tommy Hudson (toe) has been ruled out.

  • Nabs practice squad spot

    Pruitt has signed on with the Titans' practice squad, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt missed out on a 53-man roster spot with the 49ers but found a new home to continue his NFL pursuit after just a few days. The signing makes sense for Tennessee given that he's played each of the last three seasons in Nashville.

  • Cut by San Francisco

    The 49ers released Pruitt on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt joined the Niners in June and then injured his calf late in July. The tight end was forced to miss about a month of training camp, which made him fall on the team's depth chart. On Tuesday, the 49ers cut Pruitt, as they already have enough quality options at tight end in George Kittle and Ross Dwelley.

  • Back at practice

    Pruitt (calf) is practicing Thursday, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt missed a significant portion of training camp due to a calf injury, but he's now back on the field. The sixth-year pro is competing for a depth gig in San Francisco's tight-end corps, where George Kittle stands as the unquestioned No. 1 option.

  • Will miss some time

    Coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pruitt (calf) will miss some time, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt, who joined the 49ers in June, looks to be competing for a depth role in San Francisco. George Kittle is unquestionably the 49ers' top tight end, and Ross Dwelley seems like the favorite for the No. 2 role. However, if he can return to practice soon, Pruitt could very well compete with Charlie Woerner and Josh Pederson for the No. 3 spot.

  • Linking up with Niners

    Pruitt agreed to a contract with the 49ers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old tight end will be moving on to his fifth organization since entering the NFL in 2015 as a fifth-round pick. He spent the past season with the Titans, filling a depth role and recording five receptions for 49 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He'll add some more depth to the 49ers' tight end room heading into training camp.

  • Minimal role as receiver

    Pruitt recorded five receptions for 49 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games with the Titans in the 2020 regular season.

    Analysis: Pruitt recorded at least one reception in only four games this season, though he did serve as an option in the red zone occasionally. However, he is regarded as a strong run blocker and was utilized primarily in that role by the Titans. Pruitt is on an expiring contract and will hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.

    Pruitt had one reception on one target for 10 yards in Week 15 against the Lions.

  • Plays role in comeback effort

    Pruitt recorded one reception on two targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Browns. He also recovered a fumble for a second score.

    Analysis: Pruitt played on a season-high 44 offensive snaps, partially filling in for the absent Jonnu Smith (knee). He made his biggest contribution early in the third quarter, hauling in a 22-yard touchdown pass after he beat a Browns' safety down the seam. Pruitt further aided the Titans frenetic comeback effort by recovering an A.J. Brown fumble in the end zone one possession later. Despite his pair of scores, Pruitt will have difficulty commanding consistent volume moving forward.

    Analysis: Pruitt returned to practice this week after suffering a knee sprain Week 9. It appears the Titans will not push it, and will wait until he has fully recovered. His next chance to suit up will come in Week 13 versus the Browns.

    Pruitt (knee) practiced in full Wednesday, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

    Analysis: This was Pruitt's first practice session of any sort since suffering a knee sprain Week 9, so he appears on track to return to the field Sunday versus Indianapolis. The veteran has logged only three catches on four targets this season as Tennessee's third-string tight end, so he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact going forward.

  • Sits out practice Wednesday

    Pruitt (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt sat out last week's loss to the Colts because of a knee sprain, and he's trending in the wrong direction to start the week. The 28-year-old tight end functions mainly as a blocking specialist, as he's been targeted just four times over six games. If Pruitt's forced to miss this Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Geoff Swaim likely will be active once again as the team's No. 3 tight end.

  • Tallies two receptions

    Pruitt had two receptions on two targets for 16 yards in Week 3 against Minnesota.

    Analysis: Pruitt was on the field for 33 percent of the team's offensive snaps to produce his first multi-catch effort of the season. Anthony Firkser is traditionally more involved in the passing game among the team's backup tight ends, though roles were reversed in Week 3, as Firkser did not see any targets. Pruitt is unlikely to gain a notable role in the passing game unless Jonnu Smith is sidelined.

    Pruitt hauled in his only target for a one-yard touchdown in Week 1 against Denver.

    Analysis: Pruitt opened the scoring for Tennessee, hauling in his short touchdown pass from Ryan Tannehill in the end zone. Despite the early contribution, Pruitt worked as depth among the tight end corps, playing near an equal amount as Anthony Firkser and behind Jonnu Smith. Pruitt worked primarily as a blocker in past seasons, and will again to begin the 2020 campaign.

    Pruitt agreed to a contract with the Titans on Saturday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Pruitt appeared in 31 games for the Titans over the last two seasons, and he'll rejoin the team after a brief time on the open market. The 27-year-old totaled 15 catches for 192 yards and two touchdowns, so he's unlikely to become a significant factor in the passing game in 2020.

  • Four catches in playoffs

    Pruitt caught all four of his targets for 28 yards in three postseason games.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old worked as a reserve tight end for Tennessee all season, but he found more involvement in the passing game after the Week 11 bye with Delanie Walker (ankle) injured. Pruitt totaled six catches for 90 yards and one touchdown in 16 games this season. He's headed for free agency in March and is likely to fill a similar role wherever he lands in 2020.

His primary contribution came early in the second quarter, when he caught a one-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Tannehill.

    Pruitt turned his only target into a 42-yard gain in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Raiders.

His lone impact on the stat sheet came halfway through the third quarter when he caught a deep pass down the right side of the field.

    Analysis: Pruitt hauled in his first catch of the season late in the opening quarter, when he caught a short pass before turning it upfield for a big gain. He also logged a snap rate of 51 percent, the fourth time this season that he's remained on the field for at least half of Tennessee's offensive plays. However, his limited volume in the team's passing game depresses any fantasy value he'll be able to record.
