Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Brock Bowers

Tuesday, November 4, 10:48 PM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew another seven targets in Week 9's 24-23 loss to the Patriots, converting them into four catches for 38 yards. While his continued involvement in the passing attack has been a welcome change compared to the underwhelming production of the past few seasons, it hasn't amounted to much for fantasy, as the 25-year-old has just a single touchdown on the season. Also, although he's on pace for 91 receptions, which would obliterate his previous career high of 68, the 6-foot-6 tight end is pacing for 812 yards, which would be more than last season's 602 yards but would fall well short of his career high of 1,026 that was set in his rookie season of 2021. Still, with two more red zone targets this past Sunday, the fifth-year pro could be on the verge of his big breakout performance of 2025, and he'll get a favorable matchup against the Colts in Germany this week versus a defense that's yielded a touchdown to an opposing tight end for four straight weeks now.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers caught 12 of his 13 targets for 127 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bowers returned from a three-game absence and delivered his best game since being drafted, setting a new career-high in fantasy points (PPR) and touchdowns. Even as the Raiders' offense struggles against softer defenses, Bowers is proving why he was worthy of being a second-round pick in many redraft leagues this year. Managers should continue to deploy him as a high-end TE1 heading into a matchup against the Denver Broncos, who just surrendered six catches and 77 yards to Dalton Schultz.
