Should You Start or Sit Kyle Pitts Sr. in Week 4?
This guy.
Kyle Pitts posts a monster rookie season, we all fall for it and get burned for three years.
Kyle Pitts is the seventh highest scoring TE after Week 1 this season, we all fall for it.
Kyle Pitts sees the first target of Week 3 in a plus-matchup against the Panthers.
OK, so maybe that last micro example is a little small, but you get the idea. After that TE7 finish against the Buccaneers in the opener, Pitts doesn’t have a finish better than 17th at the position, failing to reach 40 receiving yards on both occasions.
The shortened depth of target (4.8 yards, down from 8.7 last season) should give us a reasonable floor to bank on from this prospect that we once viewed as having access to an elite ceiling, but it really hasn’t.
These 5-7 target games are going to keep piling up, but unless Michael Penix takes a massive step forward, we are looking at another disappointing season from Pitts that sees him finish outside of starting lineups with far more consistency than he punishes you for ignoring him.
The versatility of Bijan Robinson, along with the health of Darnell Mooney, makes Pitts far from a priority in the pass game.
He’s a streamer and has fallen behind two AFC East tight ends and is my TE2 in this game.
