Kyle Pitts is all set and ready to go for Atlanta Falcons training camp. While he will be limited, this is a good sign for Pitts as he wasn’t able to participate in OTA’s. 

Kyle Pitts has had a remarkably underwhelming career considering the amount of hype he had coming out of college. The Falcons selected Pitts 4th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. While Pitts has played 17 games in 3 of 4 seasons, he hasn’t quite been the same since his Grade 2 MCL sprain in his 2nd season. 

Since his rookie season, Pitts hasn’t averaged more than 8.1 fantasy points per game in any of the last 3 seasons. He was the TE15 last season. Pitts is capable of a rare spike week as seen  by his 25.1 fantasy points in week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The problem is he can only play the Buccaneers twice a season. As the TE17 on Underdog in round 13, Pitts makes sense in stacks with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. or paired with an elite tight end. Relying on Pitts is setting up for disappointment.
