It is nothing new though. He had 5 games last year with 2 catches. Only hope is that he has some of the 6+ catch games like last year to even it out.

Not sure you want him to come and knock on our door.
How many targets today? He had seven last week.
How often was Ramsey on him? London had a nice day.
He's got a former TE coach coaching the team and a QB with a history of throwing to the TE. I wouldn't worry a bit.
For a bad team, they hung with the Saints and Superbowl champs. We all know they're not there yet but they're showing signs of improvement. With a wonderful cap situation next year, they're working a plan nicely in ATL.
I think 3 sacks this week and zero last week. That number would be like 12 last year.
Imagine if Bryan Edwards could jump? They need more top players. Anderson played today and stood out. They just need more pieces.

I’ve got a young team in TE Prem, thinking of offering Kelce plus for Pitts to a competitor to secure my future

Well, they seem to be doing a poor job at that too.

John Ritter. That way it could be John Ritter at QB, plus Drake London and Kyle Pitts.
We can call it Three's Company.

targeting your best pass catchers might improve your chances to actually win, Arthur.
Drafted him in round 4 and was fully aware of the terrible weeks 1 and 2 matchups. Set expectations accordingly, but was thinking maybe his ceiling would emerge anyway. Nope.
Not panicking, but if they can't get him involved in week 3 against a SEA D that looks downright terrible the panic button will be slammed.

Arthur got a McLaren but using him like he’s a Ford F250
Yea, how's that going, Arthur?

Didn't see the game......did Pitts draw Ramsey all game? That's the only logical explanation of a 2/19 game when trailing the whole way.

I'm hoping that will be a good thing for Pitts. Defenses are quickly learning they're going to need to pay more attention to London.

I still love him for Dynasty, but 3rd round was kind of crazy ADP considering no one knew how this new look Falcons offense was going to perform, and whether MM would be targeting the TE.
Next year with London, Pitts and assuming a return, Ridley on the field, Pitts should find much softer coverage.
Pitts could still come alive this season, but for now he’s a dart throw like most of the other TEs not named Kelce, Andrews or Waller.

If it helps, Ramsey held him on a would-be bomb TD where otherwise we would be singing the praises of his resurgence.

“there” was correct. “Their” is possessive.

I hope this guy doesn't sabotage my season. Shallow league, so he's my only TE on roster.

You drafted him, so technically it would be you who sabotaged your season.

This is probably my biggest worry about Pitts. Mariota doesn’t do a good job going through progressions, and often looks somewhere else first. He relies too much on his legs rather than make the easy throw. Pitts would benefit more with a traditional QB IMO.

Not something Pitts owners want to hear, but that's a fair statement. Mariota just found another big time receiving option in London, although I'm sure once defenses start keying more on the rookie, Pitts will benefit more. With both guys in the fold, Pitts may just not have the target share as expected. The good thing is that it is still a narrow target tree between the two of them.

Having watched some of these games, I don't believe either of these quotes match reality.
As for "relies too much on his legs" - that's because if he didn't he'd be looking out of his earhole like Ryan was much of last year. Blame the OL, not MM.

Pitts should be more productive, but the "problem" is he gets treated like a WR because that's essentially what he is.
Interesting topic, but in short, there's a lot of unique dynamics revolving around finding top FF TEs.

Technically true, but only because DPIs don't count as a target. He drew a 36 yard DPI on a shot downfield where the CB was just hanging on to one arm to keep up, while lined up outside. Maybe an 80 yard TD if he doesn't get interfered with, but at minimum a 40ish yard catch.
Mariota hasn't looked bad (he's been helped by a couple dropped pick 6s) but he's always been kind of a checkdown QB. Like HSG said, the line is doing him no favors either. Most of London's routes are within 10 yards of the LOS so far, so oddly enough he's more the check down option than the TE Pitts.

This is why they need Ridley back. Pitts is their "deep threat" right now - pretty much their only deep threat.

I'm already there with Hockenson. Welcome to the lineup, Logan Thomas.

There is ZERO data to back up Marcus Mariota being even serviceable for receiving options fantasy wise. In the four full seasons he started from 2015-2018, only one time did any player get to 1,000 yards (Walker in 2015). Outside of that, no other Titan player ever even hit 900 yards in four straight years with Mariota under center. That’s not just a game manager, buts it’s absolutely abysmal. If you can provide data to backup Mariota being good for fantasy receiving I would love to see the actual DATA, and not just some fictional reality you claim.

MM's last two games, which you clearly did not watch, have nothing to do with his time in TEN 5-8 years ago. I suggest watching the games, and then forming a more qualified opinion about his play so far in 2022.
Capitalizing "zero" and "data" don't make your argument stronger in the slightest.
The system he played in Nashville was not suited for him. Can't expect Mariota to thrive in a pro style offense and cut out his mobility which is his best asset.

He sucks. It's OK. He seems like a good guy
Very good college quarterback, average NFL quarterback but doesn't suck.

I’m not sure about that - at best he’s the 28th best QB in the NFL. He’s below average.
