TE Kyle Pitts, ATL (1 Viewer)

[Statorama]

How’s his route running this year?

[Barrett] Kyle Pitts has a 0.000 separation score against both man and zone coverage (per @fantasyptsdata)

lower is better, right?

 

[Statorama]

If I land Kraft on waivers I will happily be benching Pitts.

I'm pounding the FAAB button on Kraft as well

[Walder] Kyle Pitts has the lowest open score, and lowest overall score, of all qualifying tight ends or wide receivers.

Does this data take into account the matchups the TE's get? Would venture to guess he's drawing a lot more CB's then LB's.

Those 7 yard slants aren't going to cut it. I believe you're right. Those clips seem to show CB coverage, but I would have to go back and look again to be sure.

Not watching the games, but some ATL fans are saying he doesn't look the same since his knee injury (MCL and PCL surgery in 2022).

We're so spoiled by people like McGahee and Chubb returning to prominence that we forget not everyone makes it back.

Not to totally derail this thread, but Trent Richardson had two knee surgeries in 2012 (before and after his rookie season).

Sometimes these little injuries can sap players of athleticism, and the NFL is not very forgiving once a player loses a step.

Pitts also had a nightmare concussion in college, which always makes me leery after living through Jahvid Best.

Just spitballing here, but this stuff can partially explain the nonexistent separation and the poor contested catch results.

made a claim for a TE this week. Hoping to rid myself of this headache. Thought playing with a vet QB would unlike the (perceived talent) but he's just not it.

Or Austin Collie

Epitome of roster poison. Can’t start him, has no trade value, but as soon as you drop, you know he’ll emerge on someone’s else roster.

Let him become someone else's problem.

 

[dickey moe]

Even if he has a breakout game (or even two), what confidence will you have that he's routinely startable in most FF leagues?

 

[jtd13]

He's been in the league for 4 years now, and every year we hear, "THIS IS THE YEAR! HE'S GONNA' BLOW UP!". And every year he turns into a turd.

I can't think of any other TE where the hype is so wildly out of proportion with his yearly performance.

Ladarius Green, maybe.

Jermichael "Bump Finley" Finley?

He wishes he was Finley

Pitts probably passes Finley for career yards before he turns 25, so I think that's probably a tad unfair.

 

[BassNBrew]

Starting him with confidence* this week

* LaPorta, Gibbs, Jameson, Goff, Kupp not available this week.

 

[zoonation]

Dumped him for Kraft.

Dear Raheem Morris and Kirk Cousins,

Just a reminder that TE is an eligible reciever in NFL football.

Thanks

That letter should be sent to Pitts, not the coach and QB.

It is? that's weird. I thought they were part of the O-line.

did the same last night in a shallow roster league. Time to move on...you can only live so long on potential and hope.

Why not both? Pitts can’t throw it to himself, but it would also be nice if he would plan on getting himself open once in a while.

 

[Jppaul]

before the season, I traded Pitts for Kelce and a future 1st. I sure hope Kelce can be a top 5 TE ROS

 

[RaidersAreOne]

Kraft got scooped up and the best available guy is Taysom Hill. I have Hockenson coming off IR soon but would you drop Pitts for Hill, or sadly roll with KP for another two weeks?

Hill is also injured, no? I'd probably stick with Pitts at this point.

I haven't watched a Falcons game this year. Is the O-line so bad that they have to leave Pitts in to block?
I can't imagine he's running dozens of routes a game and not getting a catch.

 

[Jamesinaz]

With T Hill possibly not playing this Monday I have to start Pitts once again. This game is so much FUN.
