Jake Ferguson vs Kyle Pitts
Kyle Pitts holds a 28.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR FERGUSON
Ferguson is a bankable, near-peak TE tied to an elite offense and a QB who can support weekly red-zone scoring, which matters most for TE hit rates. His role is already proven at NFL level as a primary in-line option, so you’re buying usable starts without needing a breakout leap. At ~67% of Pitts’ cost, he’s a clean way to patch TE for contenders while preserving premium assets for higher-impact positions.
THE CASE FOR PITTS
Pitts still offers the rare ceiling outcomes at TE (difference-making target share/yardage seasons) that can create a real weekly advantage, and he’s younger with a longer runway. His market price bakes in upside and insulation—if he hits, you have a cornerstone; if he merely rebounds, his value can still hold. In a landscape where true elite TE production is scarce, Pitts is one of the few bets with league-winning range.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Jake Ferguson at the discount unless you already have surplus assets and are specifically buying ceiling at TE.
Take Kyle Pitts because the age/ceiling combo gives you the better chance to turn TE into a long-term advantage or a higher future liquidity piece.
If the price is truly just Ferguson + ~33% value, lean Ferguson for points-per-cost; lean Pitts if your build can wait and you’re chasing elite TE upside.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?

Trade?
Contenders should try to buy Ferguson with a small sweetener; rebuilders should only move Pitts for a clear plus (premium pick/player on top).
Superflex?
In superflex, the gap matters more because that extra 33% value can buy QB insulation, making Ferguson the sharper cost-adjusted play unless you’re set at QB.
