Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts signed a big-money contract extension this offseason, and he views it as just the start of a new phase of his career. "I think there's a lot more out there, a lot more to get, and a lot more things to keep grinding towards. It's cool to see," Pitts said. He feels his best football is "100 percent" in the future. Huddle Up: Pitts, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, had 1,026 yards with 68 receptions in his rookie season. He struggled in his three seasons from 2022-24, before exploding for career bests of 88 receptions and five touchdowns in 2025. He also had 928 yards working with subpar quarterback play, his second-best yardage total in five NFL seasons. With either Michael Penix Jr. or Tua Tagovailoa under center, and a new offensive scheme under Kevin Stefanski, valuing the tight end more, Pitts could not only be a TE1 in all fantasy leagues, but he could be top tier.
