The Facts:
Gary Kubiak's offense in Houston made the most out of pass-catching tight ends. Now that Kubiak is the Ravens' OC, Pitta expects to be the beneficiary of the tight end-friendly offense. "It's a fun system to play in and I'm excited to learn and grow," Pitta said. "The system is set up for receivers to have big years and for tight ends to catch a lot of footballs. Owen (Daniels) has proven that over the years. Hopefully I can find a similar role."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com notes, no offense targeted tight ends as much as Kubiak's Texans did the past three seasons. Daniels joined Kubiak in Baltimore and has helped Pitta learn the new terminology and patterns. Pitta is coming off a lost season in which he played just four games after dislocating his hip in training camp. Pitta said he finally feels "100 percent." The 28-year-old said that missing time last season hurt his progress, but he is shooting for a "breakout year" under Kubiak. With a current MyFantasyLeague.com ADP of 8 among all TEs, it would appear Fantasy football owners are already buying into that notion.
