Evan Engram vs Kyle Pitts: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Evan Engram and Kyle Pitts for your lineup, you are not alone. Evan Engram finished the 2025 season at 4.9 PPG for the Denver Broncos (16 games), and Kyle Pitts averaged 9.8 for the Atlanta Falcons (17 games).
That 4.9-point weekly advantage for Kyle Pitts is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Kyle Pitts is the volume tight end in this matchup with 88 receptions for 928 yards, while Evan Engram profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (1 scores on 50 catches). In weeks where Evan Engram finds the end zone he out-scores Kyle Pitts, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Evan Engram is off Week 14 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.
