Is Kyle Pitts Sr. a Dynasty Sell-High Candidate Coming Off Breakout Season?

Tuesday, May 26, 12:26 PM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had arguably the best season of his NFL career in 2025, recording 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets across 17 games. Given that he is still just entering his age-26 season in 2026, Pitts Sr. could be poised for the superstar breakout that many projected when he entered the league as the number four overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. However, Pitts Sr. has largely been an inconsistent producer to this point in his career, failing to record more than 53 catches, 667 receiving yards, or four touchdowns in any season between 2022 and 2024. The Falcons are also seemingly unwilling to commit to Pitts Sr. long term, as he enters 2026 playing on the one-year, $15 million franchise tag. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider selling high on Pitts Sr. just in case he regresses back to previous levels of production in 2026.

Does Brenton Strange Still Need to Prove Himself in Jacksonville?

Saturday, April 25, 6:30 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange seemed like the clear-cut No. 1 option on the depth chart this offseason, and all signs pointed to him being a strong extension candidate. However, that perception has changed following this week's NFL Draft. The Jaguars made several tight end additions in the draft, selecting Texas A&M's Nate Boerkircher at No. 56 overall and Houston's Tanner Koziol at No. 164 overall. Boerkicher has more of a blocking skill set, but he's certainly capable of catching passes, too. Meanwhile, Koizol is a true pass-catcher who should compete for targets right away. Strange is clearly still the No. 1 tight end here, but there's now less confidence in his ability to fend off competition long-term. The Jaguars sent a clear message that they want some other tight ends to get involved going forward. It's possible that Strange hit his peak last year when he averaged 9.8 fantasy points per game. When extrapolated over 17 games, that's still good enough for a top-15 finish in PPR leagues. However, the new additions certainly place a cap on his long-term upside.
