Kincaid or Pitts in dynasty?
I also have both and going to be evaluating this over the next 11 weeks.
I also have both on a team and really like Kincaid but would be Pitts easily for me.
Not that this is a reason, it's not, but Pitts is actually one year younger. Injuries and QB play have limited him, these things will change.
If you don’t want to be in on Pitts this year, that’s fine. He probably still won’t get help from his team’s passing volume, and his QB remains iffy.
But if you’re “out” on Pitts because you just think he’s an overrated talent, then you’re setting yourself up to lose out when things do break right for him. We recommend changing that mindset.

I don't know how I breakdown the youngsters:
Pitts, LaPorta, Kincad but I absolutely agree that Pitts is super talented and is not someone I would be ready to sell at any discount if I had him (I don't because everyone knows I am
ETN vs the World).
I own all 4 of those players on the same FFPC(TE premium) team that allows us to start 3 TE's. I'm looking forward to the future for sure.
Only mention that to say I have gone through a process of sorting them out vs each other but it typically just gives me tired head and I quit but I do have a leaning, not a strong one and think any of them can sit atop the TE throne one day but this is how I rank them today.
Laporta to me is easiliy the one I'd rather own for the ROS and to me that's not close. He's a must start, only guy in this group I can say that about when Knox returns. He's also the youngest, extremely talented and off to a historic start. His combo of current production and future makes him hard to not rank at the top here. Pitts is all about what can be, Laporta is about what is as well as what can be. My only real concern is he's probably going to lose Ben Johnson.
View Pitts as easily the most talented pass catcher, a legit starting caliber X receiver masquerading as a TE. Still view him as a true generatioanl talent as a receiving TE. But there is more to it for fantasy success especially in a league that gives TE's 1.5 points just for making a catch. His health has been a big issue but the other major issue is he just does not get a lot of the easier higher percentage targets. That is acually a bigger concern for me then his health or the QB. London, Bijan, Jonnu currently, those guys dominating the short to intermediate middle of the field stuff. Pitts is really a WR in this offense, don't know updated numbers but heading into last week barely averaged 2 routes, not targets, routes per game as a TE.
Kincaid still has some obstacles. I do not think we have arrived though the next 3 weeks or until Knox returns should be really good. Still don't know how this is going to look with Knox. They just don't trust Kincaid as a blocker and their 12 personel packages were not functioning well at all. Kincaid's a super smooth receiver, it's really possible he and Allen forge a Kelce/Mahomes like connection and I really don't see any way Kincaid is not a big to huge fantasy success if/when he's an everydown player. Just got to hope his blocking does not keep that from happening for awhile and Knox is signed to a long term contract and returning next year seems like a guarantee.
I know this is a Kincaid thread and fwiw my investment in him in more then any of the other two so I'm pulling for him, next few weeks should be good, tbd after that.
