Kyle Pitts Sr., Kyle Pitts Sr. Signs Franchise Tender on Thursday
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. officially signed his $15.045 million franchise tender on Thursday, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Pitts is locked into a sixth season with the Falcons, but the team's brass may want to see another strong season in 2026 before getting serious about signing him to a long-term extension. The 25-year-old former fourth overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Florida looked legitimate in his first year in the NFL, when he posted a 68-1,026-1 line on 110 targets over 17 games. However, He combined for just nine touchdowns and didn't exceed 667 receiving yards or 53 receptions in his next three seasons from 2022 to 2024. Pitts finally broke out again for fantasy managers in 2025, securing 88 receptions on 118 targets for 928 yards and five touchdowns in 17 starts in a career year. Can he do it again? Well, it's a major question mark, especially with Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) set to compete for the starting QB job this summer. He should still be considered a TE1 in fantasy in 2026, but fantasy managers shouldn't reach for him as an elite TE1. Right now, RotoBaller has Pitts ranked as the No. 8 option at his position.

Tua Tagovailoa, Tua Tagovailoa Lacks Long-Term Appeal in Dynasty Leagues
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has the potential to be a short-term option in fantasy football, but he lacks long-term upside in dynasty leagues. Tagovailoa signed with the Falcons this offseason after being released by the Miami Dolphins. He may open the 2026 season as Atlanta's starter since Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is still recovering from his torn ACL, but the job belongs to Penix when he's healthy. Recent comments from president of football Matt Ryan seem to indicate that Penix's recovery is either on schedule or behind schedule, so Tagovailoa could be a QB2 option through the first few weeks of the season. Once Penix returns, though, Tagovailoa will head to the bench, where he'll face an uphill battle to reclaim any starting role, at least as long as he remains in Atlanta. He was the QB9 in 2023, but he's coming off a disastrous 2025 campaign in which he threw for 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.

Brian Robinson Jr., Brian Robinson Jr. a Dynasty Target as Handcuff with Standalone Upside
Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Robinson Jr. represents an intriguing dynasty target this offseason. Not only is he a top handcuff running back behind Brian Robinson, but he could also have some standalone value given the Falcons' tendency to use multiple running backs. Atlanta brought in Robinson to replace Tyler Allgeier. While we don't typically think of Robinson as a big pass-catching threat, he is averaging more than 1.25 receptions per game throughout his career, and he had 36 catches across 15 games in 2023 alone. He won't necessarily steal a ton of receiving work from Bijan Robinson, who is an incredible receiver, too. However, Brian Robinson Jr.'s versatility at least gives him a chance to rotate in on a wide variety of downs, not just third. Whatever his role ends up being, it's far more appealing than last season in San Francisco, where he barely touched the ball behind Christian McCaffrey. Robinson remains a top handcuff, and he could even have some standalone RB3/flex value if he vultures some of Bijan Robinson's touches early in the season.

Michael Penix Jr., Falcons Unsure on Michael Penix Jr.'s Status for Training Camp
Atlanta Falcons president of football Matt Ryan acknowledged on 680 The Fan that "you just don't know" where quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is "going to be" for the start of training camp in late July. However, Ryan is confident with how Penix has approached his rehab after tearing his ACL in 2025. "Mike's in a good spot right now. As far as expectations, we don't really know what to expect at the beginning of training camp," Ryan said. The Falcons don't plan to rush Penix back to the field, which could give new QB Tua Tagovailoa a leg up in the competition for the starting job under center in Atlanta going into Week 1 of the 2026 regular season. Penix's dynasty stock is dropping quickly after he had surgery for another torn ACL in his knee back in November. It's the third time since college that he's suffered a torn ACL. The 25-year-old lefty signal-caller was mediocre before his injury in his first full year as the Falcons' starter, completing 60.1% of his passes for 1,982 yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions in nine starts. Penix will need to get healthy first, and then he'll need to improve his accuracy to have a chance to beat Tua out. It's looking more likely that Penix is going to enter the start of next season as Atlanta's backup.

Bijan Robinson, Bijan Robinson Could Just Be Entering His Dynasty Prime
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson has posted fantasy finishes of RB9, RB4, and RB3 through his first three seasons, and it's possible he's yet to reach his true ceiling. As a rookie under head coach Arthur Smith, Robinson ceded meaningful touches to a capable backup in Tyler Allgeier. In years two and three, under the defensive-minded Raheem Morris, Robinson's usage spiked, particularly in the passing game, but Allgeier still averaged 153.5 touches. With Allgeier out the door in free agency, he's been replaced by Brian Robinson Jr., who handled only 92 carries in 2025 as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey. And with new head coach Kevin Stefanski coming from Cleveland, where Nick Chubb would routinely see 25 opportunities per game in his prime, things could be shaping up for the incumbent Robinson to take yet another leap on his superstar trajectory. At RotoBaller's dynasty RB1, he's nearly impossible to acquire via trade, but managers lucky enough to roster the 24-year-old Robinson should still enjoy several more seasons of league-winning production.
