Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts or Luke Musgrave

Friday, May 30, 11:34 AM

Multiple teams have reached out to the Atlanta Falcons about a potential trade for tight end Kyle Pitts, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Atlanta would reportedly require at least a Day 2 draft pick in order to entertain a trade, and at the time, no deal is imminent. Nevertheless, it's an interesting storyline to follow as training camp approaches. Pitts has failed to live up to expectations as the No. 4 overall pick in 2021. He has just 10 touchdowns over four seasons and hasn't surpassed the 675-yard mark since his rookie campaign. The Florida product has been a thorn in the side of fantasy managers, finishing outside the top 12 tight ends in each of the last three seasons. In 2024, he totaled 47 catches, 602 yards, and four touchdowns en route to finishing as the overall TE15. A change of scenery could be exactly what Pitts needs, and there are plenty of tight end-needy teams that would surely welcome an upgrade.

The Green Bay Packers are activating tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Monday, and he will play against the New Orleans Saints, according to a source. Musgrave underwent surgery on his ankle in October and hasn't played since Week 3, so the Packers will ease him back in. The 24-year-old caught 34 of his 46 targets for 352 yards and one touchdown in his first 11 NFL games (nine starts) in Green Bay last year. In four games before injuring his ankle this year, Musgrave was barely involved behind Tucker Kraft, catching five of seven targets for 22 yards. He probably won't be all the field that much on Monday night in his first game back after a long layoff, and Musgrave will be a low-upside deep sleeper in DFS formats for the final three games of the regular season and in the playoffs for the Packers.
