Outlook Zach Ertz
Veteran Tight End Eyes One Last Comeback After Injury
At nearly 36 years old, Zach Ertz is fighting to extend his impressive 13-year career after suffering an ACL injury during his 2025 campaign with Washington. Despite the setback, recent reports confirm the veteran is doing everything possible to return to the field, openly expressing interest in a reunion with the Philadelphia Eagles. Our data shows his ownership sitting at 45%, indicating that deep-league managers are still holding out hope for a late-summer signing.
While his starting roster rate is currently negligible at just 3%, Ertz proved last season that he can still be productive when healthy. In 13 games with Washington in 2025, he secured 50 receptions for 504 yards and four touchdowns, showing he can still deliver fantasy-viable stat lines in the right system.
However, fantasy managers must remain realistic about his ceiling. Without a team and coming off a major knee reconstruction at his age, he is strictly a late-round stash. If he signs with a tight-end-needy team, he could offer immediate streaming value, but he carries an incredibly low floor.

Outlook Kyle Pitts Sr.
Securely Signed but Faced with Quarterback Questions in Atlanta
After signing a historic three-year, $54 million extension, Kyle Pitts Sr. is locked in as Atlanta's premier tight end. Coming off a career-best 2025 season where he secured 90 receptions for 953 yards and five touchdowns, he is poised to remain a major focal point in the passing game alongside Drake London and Jahan Dotson.
His draft stock has seen significant volatility, briefly spiking to an ADP of 48 in early June before settling comfortably at 84. In 1.0 PPR formats, this current mid-round price tag represents a strong value opportunity. Our models project him to reach 74 receptions and 812 yards, indicating he is a safe bet to return top-tier value at a discounted cost.
Despite his talent, fantasy managers must weigh his recent comments expressing uncertainty about the Falcons' quarterback room, which features Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa. While the passing environment introduces some risk, his high target share and elite physical profile make him a highly desirable, locked-in starting tight end.
