Latest takes
“This is where names like Chig Okonkwo , KC Concepcion , Stefon Diggs , Alec Pierce , Terrance Ferguson , Braelon Allen , Courtland Sutton , Bhayshul Tuten , and other late-round upside players start entering the conversation.”
Brooke Morgan· Sep 4“Judkins’ current fifth-round ADP isn’t egregious, but the range is loaded with appealing alternatives, including Christian Watson , Rome Odunze , D’Andre Swift , Bucky Irving and Bhayshul Tuten .”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 4“With Travis Etienne gone, Bhayshul Tuten will compete with Chris Rodriguez Jr. for the lead back role for the Jaguars in 2026.”

“During this time, reports out of camp were glowing, with head coach Liam Coen even saying that Tuten is primed for a big season. We also saw reports of Tuten dominating some joint practices and looking the part of a featured back.”

FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“Bhayshul Tuten is my favorite league-winning running back candidate because the opportunity is finally there to match his talent. As a rookie, Tuten ranked fifth among qualifying running backs in rushing success rate, 11th in missed tackle rate, and averaged 12.8 PPG when seeing 10+ touches last season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 2“While many are excited about Bhayshul Tuten , don’t forget about Rodriguez.”
Mike Fanelli· Aug 31“” – Mark Ringo ( Sleepers and Busts ) “ Bhayshul Tuten is the running back outside the top 15 I want on as many teams as possible this season. As a rookie, Tuten ranked fifth in rushing success rate and 11th in missed tackle rate despite playing behind Travis Etienne, who is now gone.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 30“Bhayshul Tuten will share carries with Chris Rodriguez Jr. , but Tuten is the more explosive of the two and could catch passes.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 29“Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAX) Sometimes there are players the industry rates much higher whom I avoid purely on my gut instinct. Bhayshul Tuten fits that mold. I understand the reason for optimism when you look at Tuten from a top-down perspective.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 28“Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAC) “My answer really depends on my team build. In a vacuum, it’s Bhayshul Tuten .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 27“Bhayshul Tuten has enormous upside in 2026, if he can separate himself from the pack. Tuten is currently listed as the co-starter atop Jacksonville’s RB depth chart with Chris Rodriguez, yet it is Tuten that Jags HC Liam Coen has raved about at every possible point imaginable.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 23“Still, Rodriguez is competing for backfield touches with second-year pro Bhayshul Tuten , and Rodriguez could realistically pace the backfield in carries or at least carve out a fantasy-friendly role as a goal-line option.”
Josh Shepardson· Aug 19“Even though I have brought his name up all offseason, calling Bhayshul Tuten a “must-have” on May 8th, he is the perfect back for this article.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 19“Tuten is an explosive play waiting to happen. He is 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds, and ran a 4.32-second 40-yard dash at the combine.”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 11
“The Falcons don’t have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London , so Kyle Pitts could very well be Atlanta’s No.”
FantasyPros Staff· Sep 5“Players like Jaylen Warren , Terry McLaurin , Rico Dowdle , Rashee Rice , Jameson Williams , Emeka Egbuka , Quentin Johnston , and Kyle Pitts can all become interesting depending on where they are still available in your draft.”
Brooke Morgan· Sep 4“Cousins was starting for Atlanta in Week 15 last season when Kyle Pitts caught 11 passes for 166 yards and three touchdowns.”

FantasyPros Staff· Sep 3“-Pat Fitzmaurice Must-Know Tight End Fantasy Football Stats Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Kyle Pitts had a 22.7% target share last season, but it’ll be a bit of a different situation this season.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 31“Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) Kyle Pitts had a 22.7% target share last season, but it’ll be a bit of a different situation this season First, the Falcons will likely have Tua Tagovailoa under center early in the season, and I don’t trust him as a quarterback whatsoever. Further, Pitts led the team in target share because Drake London played just 12 games.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 27“It’s easy to identify the top tier of tight ends in fantasy football this season: Brock Bowers Trey McBride Colston Loveland Tyler Warren Kyle Pitts Tucker Kraft But what does the position look like after that top tier? Below are three tight ends you can draft in the later rounds who have the upside to finish in the top five at the position.”
Kurt Blakeway· Aug 25“The much-maligned Kyle Pitts is being drafted in the seventh round.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 22“Fantasy managers spent years paying for the Kyle Pitts breakout before it happened. Now that it finally did, no one seems interested in paying for it.”
Javier Manzanera· Aug 21“10.04: Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) This seems late for Pitts, but the concerns about the quarterback play in Atlanta are giving his stock a hit. That is a legitimate concern, but it should be noted that Tua Tagovailoa was able to get Mike Gesicki and Jonnu Smith career seasons.”
Jason Kamlowsky· Aug 11“There are compelling midrange options such as Sam LaPorta and Kyle Pitts .”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 9“isn’t exactly encouraging, but Kyle Pitts led the team in target share last season at 22.7%”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 6“Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) The Falcons’ quarterback situation with a nicked-up Tua Tagovailoa and an injured Michael Penix Jr”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 6“Those are all elite numbers, and if Pitts had put up those stats all year, especially the fantasy points per game, he would have been the TE1 for fantasy. The problem is that with Drake London active, Pitts had a 19% target share, 42.2 receiving yards per game, 1.43 yards per route run, a 20.2% first-read share, 0.093 first downs per route run, and 9.6 fantasy points per game. All of those per route metrics were still quite strong, but the fantasy points per game mark would have made Pitts the TE20 last year.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 4“Last year, Kyle Pitts had a tale of two seasons. Yes, overall it was a wonderful year as the TE5 in fantasy points per game and easily his best statistical season since his rookie year, but it was wildly different with Drake London in and out of the lineup. Without London, Pitts had a 26.7% target share with 84.4 receiving yards per game, 2.81 yards per route run, a 27.8% first-read share, 0.120 first downs per route run, and 19 fantasy points per game (per Fantasy Points Data).”
