Kyle Pitts is locked into the franchise tag for this season after recording an elite 90.4-percent Route Participation rate and a 22.9-percent Target Share last year. Instead of staging a contract holdout, the tight end is fully bought into new head coach Kevin Stefanski’s system to build on his 516 routes run from last season.

Under this new offensive design, expect his route tree to expand significantly past last year’s heavy diet of flats and hitches to solidify his high-ceiling TE1 status. At just 25.6 years of age, Pitts could conceivable jump back into the Top-5 dynasty tight end conversation this season.
