Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Cade Otton

Tuesday, September 30, 11:02 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had his best week of the season to date in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders, reeling in all five of his targets for 70 yards and a touchdown, his first of the year. That now makes four straight weeks with at least five targets and at least four catches to begin the 2025 campaign, currently ranking as the ninth-highest scoring tight end in half-point PPR leagues. The former first-round draft pick's target share (18.5 percent) ranks second on the team behind only Drake London, and that is even the case if you only look at Weeks 2-4 when Darnell Mooney was on the field. It's almost a five percent increase in target share compared to his involvement last season, too. The Falcons have a bye in Week 5, and Pitts returns to a tough matchup in Week 6 against the Bills, a team that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to TEs this year, so it will be a good test to see if Michael Penix Jr. can keep him involved on an every-week basis.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was able to make a small impact during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Otton hauled in three of his four targets for nine yards. Through four games, Otton has been held to six receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns. He has played above 90 percent of the offensive snaps each of the last three games. Despite that, Otton doesn't appear to be a viable option in the receiving game right now. Both Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to continue seeing a high volume of targets. Otton can continue to ride the bench until he starts making a consistent impact.
