Who Should I Start? JuJu Smith-Schuster or Kyle Pitts

Friday, November 8, 2:12 PM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout will now miss his third game in a row due to a lingering hamstring issue. Smith-Schuster was unable to practice all week, so the fact he has been ruled out shouldn't come as a surprise. His role is likely to decrease in the offense once he is back to full health. DeAndre Hopkins has stepped up and become the No. 1 wideout for this offense. Also, Xavier Worthy is still going to be involved, so Smith-Schuster is unlikely to be reliable once he does return.

After being a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) was a full participant on Friday and is expected to play this weekend against the Saints. The 24-year-old seemed to hit his stride in Weeks 5 through 8, averaging five catches and 79 yards per game over that stretch but was limited to just one catch on one target for 11 yards in Week 9 against the Cowboys. Week 10 brings a rematch with New Orleans, the same team that held him without a catch back in Week 4, however, they are missing some key pieces on defense this time and are losers of seven straight, with the Falcons 3.5-point favorites in this one. The Saints have been generally good against tight ends though, having allowed the 15th-fewest fantasy points to the position, so even though Atlanta throws the ball on almost 56% of its plays, Pitts projects to continue as a volatile TE1 in this matchup.
