I am going to be completely honest with you folks. I have no idea how to rank Kyle Pitts. Talent-wise, he's the best receiving TE I've ever seen. He should be lighting up the box scores. Unfortunately, it takes more than talent. It also takes a good situation. And for some ungodly reason known only to the Falcons' coaching staff, they refuse to pass to him. Why the heck they drafted him 4th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft is beyond me. If they weren't going to take advantage of his strengths as a star receiver, they should have drafted someone else. All I can say is, if you draft him you better have a backup plan. I never thought I'd say that after I saw Kyle destroy Alabama in the SEC Championships game. And yet here we are- ugh! Sometimes being a fantasy analyst is really the Pitts haha! A new year, but the same terrible Mark Ringo jokes haha! 
Pat Fitzmaurice
FantasyPros
After becoming the first tight end in 50 seasons to have 1,000 receiving yards as a rookie, Kyle Pitts had a bitterly disappointing sophomore season, finishing with 28 catches for 356 yards and two touchdowns and missing the last six games of the season with a torn MCL. The 22-year-old Pitts is immensely talented and figures to be a top fantasy TE for many years to come. But can Pitts be a prolific fantasy scorer in 2023 with run-loving head coach Arthur Smith in charge of the Falcons' offense and the Atlanta QB situation unsettled? Pitts will be a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option for 2023, but at least he'll be cheaper in this year's drafts than he was in 2022.After putting together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2019 and 2020, Darren Waller has missed 14 games due to injury over the last two years. In 2021, a knee injury forced Waller to miss five late-season games. In 2022, a hamstring injury wiped out nearly half of his season. Now with the Giants, Waller could see a lot of targets for a team short on talent and size at the WR position. Waller has been reasonably productive when healthy the last two seasons, but he now has to be considered at least a mild health risk, and the big tight end will turn 31 in September.

Pitts had only 28 receptions on 59 targets for 356 yards and 2 TDs in the fantasy season. He was one of the most underutilized players in the league and he missed 6 games due to injury. He is a Top-5 talent stuck on an offense that has not been able to maximize his physical gifts.Waller played only 8 games in the fantasy season, tallying 26 receptions for 353 yards and 3 TDs. Waller has a fresh start in New York, but he needs to stay healthy if he is going to be a TE1 in 2023.

 3/14 - love the NYG's third round stab here, one of the most dangerous weapons when healthy and could be the #1 weapon like he was for the Raiders with back-to-back 1K years in 2019 & 2020
