Falcons Not Ruling Out Potential Kyle Pitts Sr. Trade

Tuesday, March 31, 10:48 AM

Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham isn't ruling out the possibility of trading tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., who is currently set to play the 2026 season on the franchise tag, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. "It's my job as the general manager to do what's best for the organization," Cunningham said. "Kyle is a great player. We've seen his skill set. Also, it's my job to listen. We're excited to have Kyle. We're excited for his future." Pitts finally broke out for his fantasy managers in 2025, catching 88 of his 118 targets for 928 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in 17 starts in his fifth year in the NFL to finish as the TE2, behind only Trey McBride, in half-PPR scoring. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues must be careful not to overvalue Pitts, though, as new head coach Kevin Stefanski "will explore" using multi-tight-end sets with Pitts, Austin Hooper, and Charlie Woerner all on the field together. The 25-year-old has clear high-end TE1 upside, but if he stays in Atlanta, he could quickly disappoint fantasy managers again, especially with a potential shift to new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Brenton Strange News

Brenton Strange Trending Up Despite Anticipated Competition?

Monday, March 16, 4:41 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brenton Strange continues to rise in the latest dynasty fantasy football rankings. Between his own talent and the Jaguars' impressive offense, Strange has the potential to be a heavily-targeted option in the passing game with plenty of yards and touchdowns coming his way. We saw a glimpse of that in 2025, as he averaged 3.8 catches and 45 yards per game. However, he also missed five weeks due to injury, limiting his ceiling over the course of the season. He finished as the overall TE23, which is probably his floor in 2026. On the other hand, he has top-12 upside while catching passes from Trevor Lawrence, especially given how highly the Jaguars think of him. This past weekend, John Shipley of Jaguars On SI reported that the Jaguars believe Strange could be the most underrated tight end in football and "know just how important he is to everything they do." That's an encouraging sign that he'll get even more involved next year. These comments from Shipley were followed by a report that the Jaguars might look to draft a tight end to pair with Strange. That sounds concerning at first, but we don't think dynasty managers should panic. Strange remains the No. 1 tight end in Jacksonville, and the Jaguars don't have the 2026 draft capital to select someone who would immediately steal a big portion of his volume. As it stands, Strange is a top-18 fantasy tight end for 2026, and he has clear top-10 upside.
