Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Colston Loveland

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is coming off a two-catch performance for 38 scoreless yards in Week 10, but despite that poor outing, the 25-year-old is still averaging over six targets and five catches for 46 yards per game this year. Unfortunately, he's recorded just one touchdown on the season, but that type of volume could eventually lead to a big week. That could be this week against the Panthers, a defense that has yielded the eighth-most half-point PPR points to opposing tight ends thus far, including five touchdowns. Hopefully the 6-foot-6 tight end doesn't drop any passes that could go for big gains like he did last week, and hopefully Michael Penix Jr.'s accuracy improves, but on his typical target volume alone, he projects as a low-end TE1 on Sunday with upside if he can fine the end zone.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland was a key contributor in Week 10 and is looking to further his breakout this week. After demolishing the Bengals in Week 9, Loveland hauled in four passes for 55 yards against the Giants, which ranked second among the team. Despite coming off the breakout, his snap count did not improve, as Cole Kmet outsnapped the rookie (69%-63%) in Week 10. Loveland faces the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11, who rank in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy production from tight ends. Despite the first-round talent and improving production, Loveland is still a risky start in fantasy leagues this week due to his low snap count.
