Kyle Pitts "As Healthy As He's Been"

Sunday, July 27, 11:17 AM

Atlanta Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot said that tight end Kyle Pitts is "as healthy has he's been" in training camp. Pitts dealt with a minor foot injury earlier this offseason but was cleared before the start of training camp and isn't limited in any way this summer. That's good news as the 24-year-old looks to become a bigger part of the offense in quarterback Michael Penix Jr.'s first full season as the starting QB. The former first-rounder has been a disappointment since a 1,000-yard season in his rookie campaign. He caught 47 passes last year for 602 yards and four touchdowns. He's still young, and most fantasy managers are probably avoiding him at all costs, especially after he did nothing special in Penix's three starts to close out the 2024 season. Draft him as a TE2 and hope that the Falcons finally figure out how to use him properly.

Brenton Strange Getting TE1 Reps

Wednesday, July 30, 9:44 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange is currently operating as the starter in this offense. The Jags don't have a ton of viable options at tight end right now after the departure of Evan Engram this offseason. It's also worth noting that the Jags have a few tight ends banged up, so Strange has stepped up as the clear TE1 in Jacksonville. He's coming off a sophomore season where he recorded 40 receptions for 411 receiving yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games last season. The expectation is that those numbers will be on the rise with him likely serving as the primary tight end.
