Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Tuesday, April 7, 8:19 AM
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is signing his franchise tag and will be present for the start of the team's offseason program this week, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Pitts and the Falcons can still negotiate a long-term deal until the deadline in mid-July, but he's now locked into his $15.045 million fully guaranteed one-year deal on the franchise tag for the 2026 season. The 25-year-old finally delivered for fantasy managers in 2025 after teasing everyone with a 1,000-yard season as a rookie. In 17 starts last year, the former fourth overall pick in 2021 out of the University of Florida caught 88 of his 118 targets for 928 yards and five touchdowns. He was especially productive down the stretch when it mattered the most for his fantasy managers. Although Pitts' fantasy stock is on the rise after his big season, there is still plenty of volatility with Atlanta's quarterback picture unsettled between the injured Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa.

Tucker Kraft News
Tuesday, March 24, 6:01 AM
Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was on pace for 1,039 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns, having put up two of the best tight end performances of the season before an ACL injury ended his 2025 campaign after eight games. While he may not return immediately to his do-everything (and do it well) form coming off the devastating injury, he'll still only be 25 at the start of the 2026 season and boasts too much talent to think he won't have a shot at working his way back to the top tier of dynasty tight ends. Green Bay allowed Romeo Doubs and his team-leading 83 targets to walk in free agency. Christian Watson comes into 2026 one more year removed from the ACL tear that ended his 2024 season, and the team is expecting more from their 2025 first-round pick, Matthew Golden, but it should come as no surprise if Kraft is the one regularly leading the team in targets and red zone opportunities by season's end.
