Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Thursday, July 16, 10:39 AM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. put together the best season of his career in 2025, recording 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets across 17 games. Atlanta rewarded Pitts Sr. with a three-year, $54 million contract extension over the offseason, and he now enters 2026 as the clear number two option in the team's passing game behind star wide receiver Drake London. Pitts Sr. finished 2025 as the TE5 in per-game PPR scoring, so his current redraft ADP as the sixth tight end off the board is defensible. However, Pitts Sr. has an extended history of fantasy underperformance, failing to record more than 53 catches, 667 receiving yards, or four touchdowns in any season between 2022 and 2024. The Falcons also have one of the more questionable quarterback situations in the NFL, with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) working his way back from injury and Tua Tagovailoa coming off a brutal season with the Miami Dolphins in 2025. Pitts Sr. has definite upside, but he may be a player for redraft managers to avoid at his current price.

Kenyon Sadiq News
Monday, July 20, 10:50 AM
New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) missed team activities in the spring while recovering from sports hernia surgery, but he is expected to be fully ready for the start of training camp. The 16th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sadiq recorded 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns across 14 games for the University of Oregon in 2025. The Jets have a second intriguing young tight end in 2025 second-rounder Mason Taylor, who recorded 44 catches across 13 games as a rookie last season. However, Sadiq is an elite athlete for the position who has some ability to work from the slot, which could allow the Jets to use multiple-tight-end sets more often than most teams. Still, Sadiq profiles as more of a developmental piece for fantasy managers, as he will play his entire rookie season at just 21 years old. Managers looking for immediate top-12 tight end production from Sadiq may be disappointed, but dynasty managers in the midst of a rebuild should view him as a priority target.
