For years, Atlanta Falcons fans and fantasy football enthusiasts have suffered because of Kyle Pitts.
Pitts was supposed to be the next superstar tight end, yet Arthur Smith rarely featured him in the offense.
Now, with Zac Robinson serving as offensive coordinator under Raheem Morris, that shouldn’t be an issue.
Recently, Robinson revealed that Pitts will line up at both wide receiver and tight end, and he’s definitely going to be more involved in the passing game.
With that in mind, Kay Adams believes his upside as a fantasy football star is more than evident.
In the latest edition of Up & Adams, she showed that Fantasy Pros currently has Pitts ranked as the sixth-best tight end in their preseason rankings, trailing the likes of Sam LaPorta, Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, George Kittle, and Trey McBride.
“The sky’s the limit for what kind of season he can have,” Robinson said.

Pitts is built like Calvin Johnson and showed impressive route-running skills during his days in college, thus becoming the highest-drafted tight end in NFL history.
And with a new offense, a much better quarterback, and more weapons around him now in place, it’s only right that Pitts finally starts giving back to those who, year after year, have struggled with him on their fantasy football teams.
It’s an exciting time to be a Falcons fan, and the sky seems to be the limit for their star hybrid weapon.
