Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Rashee Rice

Friday, December 5, 10:09 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had a fantastic Week 13 with 82 receiving yards on eight targets, and is looking to continue that production in Week 14 against the Seattle Seahawks, who have been vulnerable to the tight end position, allowing the fifth most fantasy points to tight ends. What's most encouraging for Pitts is that his targets went up in Week 13 to eight, compared to the last three games, where he only saw a combined 13 targets. With Kirk Cousins now under center for the second straight week in Week 13 and more acclimated to the offense, the rapport between Pitts and Cousins showed in Week 13. The last time Cousins played two games in a row was in 2024, before Michael Penix Jr. took over as the team's QB1 in Week 16 of that season. Based on the trend and matchup, Pitts' stock is on the rise heading into the final weeks of the fantasy football season. Rotoballer ranks him as the TE7 for Week 14.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was a limited participant in Monday's practice with a hamstring injury, but followed that up with back-to-back full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rice does not have an injury designation heading into Thursday and should continue being a target hog in the Chiefs offense. Rice is coming off a great game in Week 11, where he caught eight passes for 141 yards in their win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old was the only player on the Chiefs to earn double-digit targets in last week's contest. Rice's success should continue on Thursday against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice should feast in this week's matchup, and he has a good chance of finding the endzone because he's scored four times in five games this season. Rice is ranked WR3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him one of the best options at the position this week.
