Like come on this is brutal. if you were a defensive co-ordinator for any team playing his team, ask yourself this: Who else on the team can hurt you? the answer is nobody. so yes, I'd double team him. Triple team him if necessary. force the team to beat you in some other way. Because they cant do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobby heenan 60 Posted November 29, 2021 yeah pitts is going to my bench i think till otherwise....i have lamb, pittman, aiyuk, van jefferson, gronk, corey davis and toney....and can start up to 5 of them..i think its time to put pitts back on my bench and stop hoping....the falcons offense is just a wreck and its amazing that patterson keeps churning out production i cant say ive watched a ton of falcons games this year....but i will say this.....i think part of the problem is that they are treating pitts like a wr and not an in line tight end....pitts is what? 6-5/6-6? 245-250lbs? im sorry but you need him working in line ...i know hes fast and freakish for his size....and weve seen him make plays already....but you need the threat of him being in line and doing stuff there like blocking .....it will make him much more dangerous and hard to predict.....putting him out wide and them putting a big corner on him with help is going to be tough to consistently beat and get big production.....especially with ridley out....maybe with ridley things open up more....but i think pitts needs to work/act like a traditional TE more in the offense to truly be a huge threat....hes not a WR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,418 Posted November 29, 2021 Pitts is 8th in avg 1/2 ppr. Im not sure what ff owners expected from a rookie te, who’s on a bad team, and is being used at te and wr in his rookie season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being a rookie has nothing to do with it. It’s where you picked him that is the issue. I have an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We agree, you’re issue started draft day, unless one was drafting in a keeper league, in a redraft league Pitts was being valued way to high for a rookie te. Freamuth as a rookie was in a much better position to have rookie success based on the team he went to and surrounding talent. N Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobby heenan 60 Posted December 4, 2021 would anyone else consider starting pitts over jefferson in this situation? im kind contemplating it i have javonte and mixon as my backs so ill be starting 5 receivers.....lamb(already played) pittman, gronk and aiyuk...i have jefferson(toney, c davis and pitts on bench) in there now but am considering swapping him for pitts.......i know the rams are one of those teams that will still throw when they have a lead....just wondering...i mean jefferson is struggling with drops....obj is gonna play and is a presence.....i know gb is no cake walk but jefferson had like 10 targets and only 3 catches last week...stafford is banged up.......its a tough call....ATL offense is brutal though and its been hard to watch and trust pitts...hes earned a spot on my bench but im at least considering it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He seems to catch some long balls, and can have a pretty big game. It's kind of random, but I think he has a better shot at it than Pitts right now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Roth ✔@KevinRothWx Quick update to the NFL Weather forecast: - Pulled rain chances from SEA w/ game being flexed to the afternoon. - Chicago the most likely game to see rain. - BUF windiest pre-game, but still gusty (especially the first half), winding down. https://rotogrinders.com/weather/nfl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
