Zac Robinson will now orchestrate the Falcons offense, which is a big reason for optimism regarding Pitts' role this season. With the Los Angeles Rams — where Robinson served as pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach — Tyler Higbee was often the primary tight end. Despite missing some time in 2023, Higbee finished top-10 in routes run in both 2021 and 2022.
•
The other big improvement is in the quarterback position with Kirk Cousins. Pitts dealt with Desmond Ridder, Marcus Mariota and Taylor Heinicke at quarterback over the past two seasons—those signal-callers combined for a 54.5 PFF passing grade in that span, ranking second-worst in the NFL. The group recorded the eighth-highest rate of uncatchably inaccurate passes of 10 or more yards (38.4%). Meanwhile, new Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins posted the third-best rate (29.0%) over that span.
•
Everything points to Pitts putting up better numbers this season if he can stay healthy. There is some uncertainty with the new offensive playcaller, new quarterback, and the limited sample size of tight ends as young as Pitts entering their fourth season. Pitts should be a clear fantasy starter this season, but he will need to find the red zone more often to break into the top five or higher. If everything goes right, he has the potential to be the overall TE1.
