All Underdog Fantasy Football - Josh & Hayden insights about Kyle Pitts

Kyle Pitts is a target in round six, entering his age 25-26 prime. He showed proven upside when Drake London was out, averaging 7 receptions and 84 yards in those five games. Pitts is positioned as a primary pass-catcher in a concentrated Falcons offense alongside London and Bijan Robinson; he is expected to benefit from a shift toward 13 personnel and a healthier physical state, allowing him to run shorter routes like slants and quick outs. Puka Nua projects him to have higher reception upside than Sam LaPorta or Tucker Kraft, specifically targeting an 80-reception season through manufactured touches and high target volume, bolstered by a weak defense that may force high-volume passing situations.PositiveValueJul 31, 2026
