Brock Bowers vs Kyle Pitts: Who Should You Start?
Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Brock Bowers (Las Vegas Raiders) finished the 2025 season averaging 12.0 fantasy points per game in 12 games. Kyle Pitts (Atlanta Falcons) came in at 9.8 PPG over 17 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.
Brock Bowers carries a 2.2-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.
Kyle Pitts is the volume tight end in this matchup with 88 receptions for 928 yards, while Brock Bowers profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (7 scores on 64 catches). In weeks where Brock Bowers finds the end zone he out-scores Kyle Pitts, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Brock Bowers is off Week 10 and Kyle Pitts Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
