Kyle Pitts Sr.

Kyle Pitts entered the 2025 season with the reputation of being a perennial fantasy tease. The former No. 3 overall draft pick tried to rehabilitate his image with 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns last year, good for a TE2 finish in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Pitts scored three of his five touchdowns and had his only 100-yard game of the season in Week 15, when he erupted for 11 catches, 166 yards and three scores vs. the Buccaneers. It was Pitts' best season since his 1,026-yard rookie campaign in 2021. The Falcons don't have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London, so Pitts could very well be Atlanta's No. 2 target earner this season. And while the QB duo of Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa doesn't seem very appealing, it's worth remembering that Mike Gesicki and Jonnu Smith had the best fantasy seasons of their careers with Tua as their primary QB.

Adam Schefter said “he would watch to see if [the Falcons] could find a trade partner for Kyle Pitts, who they’re open to dealing.”

Fantasy Impact

Pitts had found himself in the midst of trade rumors earlier in the offseason, but they have quieted down since. He signed his franchise tender earlier in April. It still seems like Pitts will likely remain in Atlanta, but it is at least worth monitoring.
