Kyle Pitts
Pitts enters the season as Atlanta's presumptive No. 2 pass catcher behind Drake London, with a fresh contract and a healthier lower body after last year's PCL issue. He's a boom/bust TE1-caliber piece in a concentrated passing attack, but his per-game floor remains a real question mark.
The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast and Yahoo's Josh & Hayden are buying the health-plus-opportunity story, ranking him top-5 and framing him as finally locked in as Atlanta's clear second option. Harris Football Podcast and Fantasy Football Today push back hard, noting his TE3 finish was propped up by one huge game while he was TE22-caliber the rest of the season, and that he only spikes when London sits. FantasyPros even took a prop bet on his receiving yards, acknowledging the same tension between name recognition and inconsistent per-game output.
The line: Draft Pitts as a high-ceiling TE1 gamble, not a safe floor play — his value still hinges on London missing time.
▲ The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast: Silva ranks him TE5, citing full health after his PCL injury, a big contract extension, and a barren Falcons pass-catching group behind Drake London and Bijan Robinson. listen ↗
▼ Harris Football Podcast: Finished TE3 largely due to one big game (11-166-3), but was TE22 through week 12 with zero 20+ yard plays after catch and poor route/hands; not viewed as a real breakout. listen ↗
▲ Yahoo Fantasy Football with Josh & Hayden: Sixth-round favorite; entering prime age with improved health/agility and positioned as Atlanta's clear No. 2 pass catcher in a concentrated, injury-thinned offense. listen ↗
▼ Fantasy Football Today: Only produces elite fantasy numbers (15+ PPR points/game) during the games Drake London is out; otherwise averages under 10 points, making him unreliable for a sixth straight year. listen ↗
▲ Fantasy Focus Football: Finally viewed as a legitimate clear-cut No. 2 option in Atlanta's passing game after years of hype. listen ↗
▶ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Host bet the over on 500 receiving yards; rationalizing the bet given past per-game production despite skepticism from co-host. listen ↗
