Pitts finally delivered a game-winning touchdown, showcasing his potential despite a season filled with challenges.

Kyle Pitts was drafted 4th overall by Atlanta in 2021, but has been a significant disappointment compared to other players selected around him. While the Falcons opted for Pitts over several standout talents, including Ja'Marr Chase, his production has not matched expectations. Since his rookie season, where he showed promise, Pitts has failed to eclipse 100 receiving yards in a single game, and his overall performance has regressed. The team’s decision to draft him is scrutinized, especially given the success of other players in the same draft class.

Kyle Pitts, the highest drafted tight end in NFL history, started the season strong but saw his production plummet after a standout performance against the Buccaneers. Despite a promising rookie year, he has struggled to replicate that success, raising concerns about his future with the Falcons. With a fifth-year option picked up and a guaranteed $10.9 million for 2025, the team faces a dilemma about whether to trade him or risk losing him to free agency while potentially seeing him thrive elsewhere.

Kyle Pitts has seen a significant decline in his fantasy value, dropping 19 spots in the rankings. Despite high expectations following the arrival of Kirk Cousins, Pitts struggled to produce, averaging only 8.0 fantasy points per game. His production fell short of even the top 12 tight ends, and with a mere 10% target share under Michael Penix Jr., his opportunities were limited. The stark contrast in performance compared to other tight ends, like Zach Ertz, raises concerns about Pitts's future as a 'generational' talent, leading to speculation about potential trades for more productive assets.

Kyle Pitts had another disappointing season, finishing as TE15 despite being drafted as a top-six tight end. Although he started strong, ranking as the PPR TE3 in the first half of the season, his performance plummeted in the latter half, where he managed only one game with over 50 receiving yards. This marked the third consecutive season Pitts has finished outside the top-12 PPR tight ends, raising concerns about his future fantasy viability.
