Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts appears on ESPN's 'do not draft' list
Summary

ESPN's fantasy football analyst has placed Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts on their 'do not draft' list for the upcoming season. Despite a breakout 2025 season, which included a career-high five touchdowns and 88 catches for 928 yards, some analysts believe Pitts is overvalued in drafts. His notable 2025 performance saw him finish second among tight ends in fantasy scoring, but over 21% of his points came from one strong Week 15 outing. Concerns about the Falcons' quarterback situation contribute to his placement on the list, as analysts argue that he may not replicate his past success. As fantasy football drafts approach, the value of Pitts remains uncertain.
