Should You Start or Sit Kyle Pitts in Week 7?
After what qualified as a breakout Week 5 against the Bucs (7-88-0), Pitts saved your bacon with a 52-yard catch in Week 6. He was otherwise unproductive in the blowout win over the Panthers, finishing with three catches and 70 yards.
On the bright side, we have consecutive weeks with an improved target share and, for the fourth time in six weeks, he was targeted in the end zone. In less optimistic news, the Seahawks have held Travis Kelce, Pat Freiermuth, and Dallas Goedert under 40 receiving yards each and no more than seven fantasy points this season.
Pitts resides in the Pitts Zone. That is, he’s ranked on the fringes of the top 10, just high enough to not have a better option but not high enough to feel confident about.
This is the life we chose when signing up for another year of chasing his physical upside. Is he the tight end version of Anthony Richardson (Jonnu Smith was pseudo-Joe Flacco last season)?
