Despite these concerns, there is reason for optimism when it comes to Pitts’ future prospects. He has shown flashes of brilliance in his limited opportunities, and his talent is undeniable. If the Falcons can find a way to utilize him effectively in their offense, he has the potential to be one of the most productive tight ends in the league. He is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses, with his size, speed, and athleticism. It should also be noted that the addition of Jonnu Smith could limit Pitts’ exposure as a run blocker which would add to his opportunities to line up out wide as a receiver.Â
Kyle Pitts is a high-risk, high-reward pick in fantasy football drafts. He has tremendous upside, but his production will depend heavily on the Falcons’ ability to establish a consistent passing attack and get him the ball in space. If Desmond Ridder develops into a league-average passer and Pitts becomes a more consistent scoring threat, he has the potential to be a top-tier fantasy tight end.Â
All in all, it feels like Pitts has a low probability of being on the level of a Travis Kelce or Mark Andrews in the Falcons’ offense. The passing volume just does not seem to be there in the run-heavy scheme that they run. I’d say he’s worth a shot if you’re mass-entering Best Ball tournaments given his upside. If you’re drafting one team, I’d rather take my chances on someone lower in ADP like Dalton Kincaid or Greg Dulcich.
