Kyle Pitts

Find me a more hyped up player this season than Pitts. Go ahead, I'll wait. It's near impossible to talk about the top-5 TEs this season and keep Pitts out of the conversation due to the opportunity that's now in front of him. It would be the definition of an outlier if he finished as a top-5 option in his rookie season, but the ball has to go somewhere in this offense and the Falcons are going to be committed to getting the ball in his hands. You're going to have to pay up to get him on your team, but the opportunity that he has in Atlanta this season might make it worth the investment.

Kyle Pitts could 'play everywhere' in Falcons offense, per beat writer

Observing Sunday's training camp practice for the Falcons, Kevin Knight of The Falcoholic noted that: Kyle Pitts has lined up out wide, in the slot, and in-line thus far in practice. In motion a lot as well.

Fantasy Impact

It is becoming more evident that Atlanta intends for Pitts to reach target monster status, as he'll have big shoes to fill with Julio Jones out of the picture. In addition, the Falcons don't have much talent in the backfield and aren't very deep defensively, setting up the team to be one of the more pass-heavy offenses in the league. Typically barely ranked outside of the top 5 tight ends in redraft leagues, Pitts could offer tremendous value in his rookie season.
