Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts or Isaiah Likely

Sunday, September 24, 9:00 PM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts surprising saw an increase in usage during Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The young tight end hauled in five of his nine targets for 41 yards in the loss. This was the first game this season that Pitts has seen more than five targets in a single game. Sadly, quarterback Desmond Ridder overthrew him multiple times during this contest. That being said, Pitts probably won't have TE1 value too often this season. He'll be a mid-range TE2 for the Week 4 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was one of the trending pickups when Mark Andrews (quad) was ruled out, but didn't reward any managers that decided to start him. Against the Texans, Likely finished with just one catch for four yards. Lamar Jackson showed that he wasn't relying on just any tight end, as both Likely and Charlie Kolar only saw two targets total. Heading into Week 2 against Cincinnati, Likely doesn't seem to have the streaming value that he once had if Andrews had to miss another game.
