Only one team last ye...

There are three viable contenders. The team signed Darrel Williams. He’s their most experienced option, having played extensively for Kansas City last year...
Running quarterbacks

Considering how early Pitts will go in fantasy drafts, he needs to finish with (at worst, I think) top-5 numbers among tight ends to justify where he’ll be taken.
The Falcons are starting with Mar...
