The last call is Pitts, who finally showed that he was healthy last season after multiple years of playing on a bum knee. His acceleration and agility seemed to be as good as it was during his record-breaking rookie season, and now he's in a good spot to be a little more consistent in 2026. New coach Kevin Stefanski will have plenty of first-read targets to his TEs, as he did with David Njoku and Harold Fannin Jr., and the lack of a proven WR2 in the Falcons offense means Pitts' weekly volume is projectable.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Pitts' health recovery, Stefanski's TE-friendly scheme, and thin WR depth support elite TE1 upside.

Pitts finally showed he was healthy last season after multiple years on a bum knee; his acceleration and agility matched his record-breaking rookie season. New coach Kevin Stefanski favors first-read targets to TEs (David Njoku, Harold Fannin Jr.) and the Falcons lack a proven WR2, making Pitts' weekly volume projectable. He averaged 7.0 receptions and 84 yards in five games without Drake London last season—nearly impossible to find after the Round 6/7 turn. If something happens to London, Pitts has elite TE1 in his range of outcomes.
