2023 Receiving Stats
2023 Receiving Projections
Pianalto will miss the rest of the season due to a broken right fibula suffered in the second quarter of Saturday's victory over Virginia, the Charlotte News & Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
The loss of Pianalto further depletes a team that has been decimated in the wake of an NCAA investigation into illegal benefits. Pianalto was leading the team with 30 receptions and 311 yards, so he will not be an easy player to replace. Ryan Taylor, Ed Barham, and Nelson Hurst will play tight end for the Tar Heels in Pianalto's absence.

2010 Fantasy Outlook
Pianalto has major durability issues, but he's one of the nation's most productive tight ends when he's on the field. He caught 33 passes for 334 yards and a touchdown in nine games last year, and hopefully he'll be this year's Tony Moeaki. He's a top tight end option in ACC-only leagues and deserves consideration in all formats.
