3 tight ends that will boost your fantasy lineups the rest of the season
- Time to trust Pitts?
- Potential trade ideas if you are struggling at the TE spot
Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons
Kyle Pitts was one of the most hyped-up tight ends coming out of college in a long time and he has yet to come close to living up to that in his short career thus far. But there could be signs of him trending in the right direction.
The year started out slowly, much like it did for Schultz, as Pitts had just eight targets in the Falcons' first two games. But he has had 30 over the last four. He is still one of the best options in the Atlanta passing game, even if the still developing Desmond Ridder is the guy throwing him the ball.
The Falcons seem to be realizing that Pitts is one of their best players and he needs to be involved if they are going to have a chance to win games. Pitts also finally found the end zone, scoring a touchdown against the Washington Commanders last week. The week before that, he was thrown to 11 times against the Texans.
Roll with Pitts the rest of this year. You likely spent a premium asset on him (especially if you have him in a dynasty league), so it's time to trust your original instincts with him. I also think that his teammate, Jonnu Smith, is a better option that a lot of guys the rest of the way this season.
