Kyle Pitts in round six is overpriced in home league settings; Ron Stewart criticizes this ADP as 'pretty ridiculous' and advises against drafting him in casual home leagues where flex options like Bowers and Loveland Warren offer better value, though he likes Pitts as a player.

Kyle Pitts is ranked as tight end eight by Ron Stewart but is going off the board at ADP 608 (consensus) to 611 (ESPN) in round 6, ahead of Christian Watson, Marvin Harrison, Jaylen Warren, Brian Thomas, Tony Pollard, and Parker Washington. Stewart finds this problematic because Pitts is more expensive on draft sites than both Travis Kelce and Sam LaPorta despite his lower tier ranking. Stewart argues paying up for Pitts in this range is not great value, citing that last year tight ends in this ADP range (LaPorta to David Njoku) were terrible picks, and expects two to three tight ends in the Pitts, Harold Fannin, Sam LaPorta, Tucker Kraft area to be brutal picks. Stewart prefers paying up for Brock Bowers, Dalton Kincaid, or Tyler Warren instead, or waiting until round 10 forward where tight ends generate league winners.NegativeValueAug 10, 2026

Kyle Pitts scored 45 PPR points in week 15 (one of the four highest-scoring games by any player this season) and has posted 15+ PPR points in three consecutive games. He is on pace for the most receiving yards by a tight end before turning 26, joining elite company (Gronkowski, Witten, Gonzalez, Kellen Winslow). However, his recent production is heavily dependent on Drake London's absence; once London returns, Pitts transitions from a must-start to a weekly streamer. The source emphasizes Pitts can still start on a weekly basis but will become less of a focal point in the offense.
