The source had considered a potential Injoku-style role for Pitts with Tua—getting the ball in his hands quickly with more consistent target opportunities—but with Cooper Rush at QB, confidence in that role materializing drops significantly. Even if the scheme does happen, the source questions what it actually gets him in fantasy value.NegativeProjectionDec 13, 2025
Rich Hribar has two Kyle Pitts teams heading into the fantasy finals and is uncertain about his impact; Hribar is hoping his Pitts teams are among his weaker lineups. While Pitts delivered an exceptional single-week performance in standard scoring (zero PPR) that was described as 'unbelievable' and helped one team overcome a 20-point deficit in a semifinal, his long-term fantasy value is contingent on landing spot and team fit. The source notes Pitts' free agency value will depend heavily on whether he lands with a team that can utilize his receiving skills over the middle versus deep ball capability; blocking limitations are a concern for his market value and would prevent him from receiving a premium contract.PositiveRoleSep 19, 2025
87% route participation marks a significant year-over-year improvement; Pitts is now an every-route type of guy compared to last year's blocking struggles and system fit concerns. Despite an 11% first-down target rate, he's earning targets at a 21% targets-per-route-run rate and has a strong connection with QB Kirk Cousins. Coordinator Zach Robinson has calibrated the offense to work around Pitts' strengths rather than force him into a role that didn't fit. Ranked as low-end TE1 for the week.NegativeProjectionNo date
