Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Isaiah Likely

Saturday, November 15, 11:54 AM

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.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely hasn't really found a groove this season like he did at certain points last year. His best game was in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins when he collected three receptions for 60 yards and finished as the TE18 in half-PPR formats. Coming into a Week 11 matchup with the Cleveland Browns, Likely holds a bit more value with Rashod Bateman (ankle) and Justice Hill (toe) both being sidelined. Mark Andrews and Zay Flowers will probably remain the top two targets, however, and the Browns have only allowed five touchdowns to tight ends all season. That means Likely is still projected as a low-end TE2 who shouldn't be counted on in standard leagues.
