Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Friday, March 6, 1:46 PM
CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones reported this week that NFL teams will be calling the Atlanta Falcons to make trade offers for tight end Kyle Pitts Sr., per The Athletic's Josh Kendall. "Whether or not they listen is another question," Kendall writes. He adds that new head coach Kevin Stefanski has sounded like he wants to coach Pitts this year, and he's the only real pass-catching TE on the roster. If the Falcons were to trade Pitts for a couple of mid-round draft picks, Kendall thinks they'd have to turn around and use the additional draft capital to take a rookie tight end in this year's NFL draft. The dynamic around trading Pitts could change if Atlanta is able to land a starting-caliber TE in free agency, such as David Njoku or Darren Waller. New general manager Ian Cunningham said recently the Falcons want another year to decide on whether Pitts is worth a long-term deal, which is why they placed the franchise tag on him. The former fourth overall pick broke out for 88 catches, 928 yards, and five touchdowns in 2025, but with potential issues at the QB position, Pitts could be a volatile TE1 in fantasy.

Trey McBride News
Friday, March 13, 7:25 PM
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had a spectacular 2025 season, and he'll look to repeat his success with quarterback consistency on the way in 2026. Outside of five games with Kyler Murray as his quarterback, McBride spent most of last season catching passes from Jacoby Brissett. The veteran backup isn't a flashy passer by any means, but he played surprisingly well and supported an elite-tier campaign from McBride. The 26-year-old finished the year with 126 catches, 1,239 yards, and 11 touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE1 in full-PPR leagues. He has now been a top-two fantasy tight end in back-to-back seasons, and with Brissett due back next year, McBride remains a top fantasy option at his position. Of course, the markets have adjusted and McBride no longer comes at a discount. He's priced as one of the top tight ends in fantasy football and will likely have a second-round ADP in most leagues next summer. From a dynasty perspective, he should be held in all leagues. He's too expensive to buy low, but too young and talented to sell high.
