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.

Sam LaPorta Has Confidence in New Lions' OC

Thursday, July 17, 8:36 AM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta had high praise for first-year offensive coordinator John Morton with the team set to open training camp this weekend. There have been some concerns that the Detroit offense will take a step back now that star play-caller Ben Johnson is the head coach in Chicago, but LaPorta does not share those worries. LaPorta told Jim Rome on Wednesday that Morton is a "brilliant mind" and went on to say, "I think he's gonna call the offense great." It remains to be seen whether Morton changes player roles, usage, and formations in his first year calling the plays, but the Detroit offense is loaded with talented players. Detroit should continue to be a fantasy goldmine for the 2025 season.
