Kyle Pitts remains a pivotal yet uncertain figure for the Atlanta Falcons in 2025. Entering the final year of his rookie contract with a guaranteed salary of $10.88 million, Pitts is projected as a TE1 bounce-back candidate, provided he recovers fully from his foot injury by July 1, 2025. Despite recording 47 receptions for 602 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2024, his role in the Falcons' offense appears secondary to Drake London and Bijan Robinson.
Trade rumors persist, with the Falcons open to offers involving significant draft capital, potentially a Day 2 pick. Should Pitts be traded to a team like the Dallas Cowboys or New England Patriots, his fantasy value could skyrocket as a primary receiving threat in a pass-heavy offense.
For fantasy managers, Pitts' situation demands close monitoring. If he remains in Atlanta, expect him to be a secondary option, limiting his ceiling. However, a trade could unlock his potential, making him a valuable target in both Dynasty and Redraft leagues. Given the Falcons' preference to retain him, a trade remains unlikely unless a compelling offer emerges.
