Mike FF Today 607 Posted November 21, 2022 Sounds like Pitts is going to be out for awhile.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
polecatt 399 Posted November 21, 2022 That's a shame, but can't say it's really fantasy worthy... Although, maybe people taking the fools gold will be forced to look elsewhere instead of getting F'ed in the A every week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted November 21, 2022 If a Pitts falls on the football field, but no fantasy points are around, did anyone give a f***? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joeshushu 51 Posted November 21, 2022 Yea fourth round bust for me. I picked Nijoku in like the 15 round and was playing him instead until he hurt his ankle hopefully he will be back next week I need to win the rest of my games and hope for help just to have a shot at the last playoff spot anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 979 Posted November 21, 2022 Eddie Jackson of the Bears did that and it was not a nice way to tackle someone. He dove head on full speed into Pitts' thigh, just above the knee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boilerddd 62 Posted November 21, 2022 Brutal news for the Falcons. Not sure how that dynamic passing offense can survive the loss of one of their key weapons. They may need to run a little more. Perhaps scale the pass attempts down to single digits? Good riddance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that's 2.8 catches per game that will have to be distributed among the remaining receivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,171 Posted November 26, 2022 Averaging like 7 targets over the last 4 weeks. Drake London would seem the likely beneficiary who is averaging 5/week himself. Can he get up to 8 targets per game? would still be boom/bust just due to the inefficiency of that offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Spaulding 2 Posted November 26, 2022 Drafted Pitts at #4 in 1st round of my dynasty draft because of the "generational talent" hype he was getting. Should have taken Chase, but I already had Tyler Boyd (when Boyd was still #1 WR in Cincy) so didn't want 2 WRs on same team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,452 Posted November 26, 2022 4th pick or 4th round, can’t justify not taking the better player, that would be Chase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He dove head on full speed into Pitts' thigh, just above the knee. I don't like to see players get hurt either, but that's probably the way Eddie was taught to tackle . Antoine Winfield tackled the same way throughout his career. Figuring out how and where to tackle an opponent is becoming a progressively trickier conundrum for NFL defenders. They can't hit too high for fear of a reprimand from the league. If they target a ball-carrier's lower extremities, then there's an increased risk of causing a debilitating knee or ankle injury. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2188997-nfl-players-plead-with-tacklersto-aim-for-head-not-knees-in-otl-report Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
