Last season, Pitts did not have a good start, ranking as the TE16 from Weeks 1-12. A majority of those games were with Michael Penix behind center, and it wasn't until Kirk Cousins became the starting quarterback that Pitts began to produce. This was also when Drake London was dealing with an injury.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Pitts' TE2 finish relied on Cousins and London's injury; both may reverse.

Pitts' TE2 finish in 2025 may not be repeatable despite his three-year, $54 million contract. His production was heavily dependent on favorable circumstances that may not persist. From Weeks 1-12, he ranked as TE16 with Michael Penix at quarterback; production only improved when Kirk Cousins took over. Additionally, Pitts benefited from Drake London's injury: of six games where Pitts scored 10+ fantasy points, London was absent for four and eased back in one. The Falcons face significant uncertainty at quarterback (Penix vs. potential Tua Tagovailoa acquisition), and a healthy Drake London will likely reclaim primary target status. Bijan Robinson, who finished third in the league with 366 touches last year, will also compete for targets in the red zone.
