Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Jake Ferguson

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.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for Dak Prescott all season. Ferguson has recorded at least five receptions in all but two games this year and continues to be one of the most reliable pass catchers in the Cowboys' offense. He's coming off a Week 9 performance where he posted five receptions for 50 yards against the Cardinals. This week, Ferguson and the Cowboys are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders in what could turn into a shootout (49.5 total). The Raiders' defense has been mediocre against the pass, allowing around 214 passing yards per game, which ranks 16th in the NFL. With a high implied scoring total, Dallas should be able to put points on the board, giving Ferguson plenty of opportunities in the passing game. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson ranked as the TE5 for Week 11.
