2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pitts has consistently disappointed since setting expectations sky-high with 1,026 receiving yards as a rookie after the Falcons drafted him fourth overall in 2021. He had just 356 yards over 10 games in his second season, followed by 667 in 2023 and 602 in 2024 while playing all 17 games both years. If you’re looking for silver linings from his 2024 campaign, Pitts set a career high with four touchdowns (having started with one as a rookie and tacking another onto his total each year), in addition to having his best YPT mark (8.1) since that impressive rookie season. Pitts will turn just 25 years old in October, but fantasy managers understandably are wary of buying in after being burned the last three years. What's more, Pitts’ early returns with QB Michael Penix left a lot to be desired. In the three games the 2024 first-round pick started last season, Pitts caught just seven passes for 66 yards and one TD. Read Past Outlooks
Snags first TD in 2025
Pitts caught all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
The tight end put together his best game of the season as QB Michael Penix posted career-best passing numbers, with Pitts hauling in his first TD of the year on a seven-yard toss in the third quarter. Pitts has seen at least five targets in every game so far and delivered a 20-205-1 line on 24 targets heading into Atlanta's Week 5 bye, putting him on pace for his best campaign since his stunning NFL debut in 2021.

2021
Pitts had 1,026 receiving yards in 2021, becoming the first tight end since Mike Ditka in 1961 to reach 1,000 yards as a rookie. In two subsequent seasons, the 2021 fourth overall pick had just 1,023 receiving yards combined, struggling with knee injuries and poor QB play (Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ridder and Taylor Heinicke) in run-heavy offenses coached by Arthur Smith. Fortunately for Pitts, big changes are coming. The Falcons canned Smith in favor of Raheem Morris, hired former Rams assistant Zac Robinson as their offensive coordinator and then signed QB Kirk Cousins to a four-year contract. Atlanta even added QB Michael Penix with the eighth overall pick, creating a solid backup plan in case Cousins isn't the same after last year's Achilles' tear or otherwise ages faster than hoped for. Cousins mostly will be tasked with getting the ball to Pitts, WR Drake London and RB Bijan Robinson, as the Falcons have minimal receiving depth unless WR Darnell Mooney can rebound from an ugly 2023 in Chicago. It's a good situation for the 6-foot-6 tight end to pile up targets, and getting him more involved near the end zone should be a priority for Atlanta’s new coaching staff.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Showing early chemistry with Penix
Pitts and Michael Penix displayed encouraging chemistry during the Falcons' first practice of training camp Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The oft-maligned Pitts hasn't been associated with too much encouraging news in recent seasons, and he posted a modest 7-65-1 receiving line over the final three games of the 2024 regular season that constituted Penix's first three career starts. However, Pitts was on the receiving end of a 25-yard completion on Penix's first throw of 11-on-11 drills Thursday, and the veteran tight end was targeted several more times during the session as the duo seemingly built on the chemistry they developed during informal throwing sessions this past offseason.
