Outlook Dalton Kincaid

Post-Surgery Recovery and Stable ADP Make Kincaid a Value Target

Dalton Kincaid is entering the season with high expectations after bypassing offseason knee surgery. He reports feeling better than ever, putting health concerns to rest. Although listed behind Dawson Knox on the depth chart, Kincaid is projected as our clear pass-catching leader at tight end in this high-powered offense.

We project Kincaid to lead the tight end room with 58 receptions for 695 yards and five touchdowns. Coming off a 2025 season where he averaged a career-high 14.6 yards per catch and scored five times, his downfield efficiency makes him a top target for Josh Allen.

Draft market trends show Kincaid's ADP has stabilized around 107 overall after brief June fluctuations. At this reasonable price, our models view Kincaid as a prime draft-day value. He possesses a highly bankable target floor in a 1.0 PPR scoring format.

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.
