Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Wednesday, April 22, 7:57 AM
There is a possibility that the Atlanta Falcons trade tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. during the 2026 NFL draft this week, according to John Breech of CBS Sports. New Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham already admitted that the team will listen to offers for Pitts and other players. Breech thinks that if Atlanta is serious about trading Pitts, the Kansas City Chiefs should give them a call as they look to grab their next TE for life after Travis Kelce. KC currently has two first-round picks in this year's draft, and they would likely be able to get a deal done for Pitts by giving the Falcons one of those first-rounders. The Falcons don't have a first-round pick this year (and have only five total picks in the draft), and if they trade Pitts away, they'd free up $15 million in salary cap space for this season. Pitts finally broke out for fantasy managers in 2025 and was the TE2 overall in half-PPR scoring with 88 catches, 928 yards, and five touchdowns in 17 games. A move to KC would be attractive in the long-term, but with Kelce still around for another season, it would seriously hurt Pitts' 2026 redraft value.

Brenton Strange News
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.
