Just two years ago, Kyle Pitts was being discussed as the future of the tight end position. He was just the second player at the position to go for 1000 yards as a rookie and seemed to have a skill set that no tight end possessed.
However, Pitts came crashing down to earth in the last two seasons, frustrating fantasy owners in the process. He's scored just 5 TDs the last two seasons and has lacked volume in the Falcons offense.
There is some good news. Like Drake London, betting on talent in a revamped offense with a new coaching staff is a good idea. Pitts' ability to run vertical, down-field routes and act essentially as a WR allows him to have an incredibly unique role. 85.6 percent of his routes came from the slot or outside, the 3rd highest rate among TEs. His 11.9-yard aDOT was also the highest mark among TEs by far.
Pitts is just 23 years old and has been set up to fail in every year of his NFL career. He now has a situation that will actually allow him to produce for fantasy purposes. Bet on his talent once again in 2024.

 Kyle Pitts limited Wednesday with hamstring issue
Not great, but no time to panic
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 4, 11:41 am
|  | Raheem Morris says Kyle Pitts will be limited with a hamstring injury to start the week. He and Nate Landman (quad) are the two players he mentioned would be limited. Raheem Morris when asked if there was any concern about Kyle Pitts' hamstring - "not for me." He practiced on Monday and will be out there again today. Just limited. (Will McFadden on X)
FFToday's Take: Let's not hit the panic button. We don't like hamstring injuries for their potential lingering effect, but it seems like the Falcons are just being cautious here. Pitts apparently tweaked his hamstring a couple weeks ago but hasn't been a big issue since. We'll monitor his practice reports as the week moves on.
