Kyle Pitts 2025 Fantasy Preview
| Kyle Pitts | TE - Atlanta Falcons | Bye:5 |
| Age: 24 | HT: 6-6 | WT: 250 |
2024: We are once again hoping this will be the season Kyle Pitts puts it all together. The former No. 4 overall pick caught 47 passes for 602 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games last season, and now finds himself in a prove-it year with his rookie contract set to expire at season’s end. Pitts posted four top-12 fantasy finishes during the first eight weeks of the season, but averaged a paltry 4.7 PPR points per game from Weeks 9 to 18, which can be partially due to Kirk Cousins and the Falcons’ passing game imploding. A capable field stretcher who ranked second among tight ends in air yards per target (8.5) last season, the production has never quite aligned with the potential Pitts showed early in his career.
What’s Changed: Michael Penix Jr. will open the season as the Falcons’ starter. In the three starts Penix made last season, Pitts averaged just 3.3 targets per game and 6.5 PPR points per game. It’s a small sample size, but still not encouraging.
Outlook: His freaky athleticism continues to keep us intrigued, but there’s little reason to believe Pitts, whose 0.155 targets per route run ranked fourth lowest among tight ends who saw 50-plus targets last season. A tight end who doesn’t command targets is hard to trust in fantasy, making Pitts a risky bet as anything more than a mid-TE2.
