Fantasy Points Fantasy Football on Kyle Pitts

Value play if he falls; TE9 rank with top-2 target upside but limited elite games

Zachariason advocates for Kyle Pitts as a value pick in ideal draft scenarios where other teams draft Loveland, Warren, Craft, Leaporta, and other early tight ends, allowing Pitts to fall to a 'crazy good value' ADP. He projects Pitts as a top-two target on the Falcons with elite speed and chunk-play production, featuring him as a key part of the new Kevin Stefanski offense. Pitts has three 40-yard plays in a season (tied with George Kittle and Chick Conwell for league lead) and Zachariason references Rob Gronkowski's 330 PPR season when Wes Welker got 173 targets, arguing top-two target status enables tight end upside even with multiple receivers on the team. However, Pitts has only one 100-yard game in the last four years compared to George Kittle's nine; he averaged 90.8 yards per game without Drake London last year, showing contingent upside if London is injured. Zachariason ranks him as TE9, not TE5, citing Kevin Stefanski's track record and scheme fit concerns despite the Falcons' weak receiver room.
