Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Romeo Doubs

Saturday, October 11, 2:25 PM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has been a steady performer so far this year, logging at least five targets and at least four receptions in each of the team's first four games, even logging a season-high 70 yards receiving and catching his first touchdown pass of the season in Week 4. Week 6 brings a difficult matchup against the Bills, a defense that has limited opposing offenses to the second-fewest yards per game through the air, and it's a unit that has yielded the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends so far this season. However, with the Bills' LB Matt Milano (pec) ruled out, intermediate targets could open a bit more, and with the Falcons' WR Darnell Mooney (hamstring) also ruled out, a few more targets could be headed Pitts' way. The 6-foot-6 tight end saw a season-high eight targets in Week 1 without Mooney on the field, and is looking like a low-end TE1 for Monday's matchup in Atlanta.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs is coming off by far his best game of the season in Week 4, with an awesome three-touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys. Doubs looks to keep that momentum going post-bye in Week 6 as the Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals. Week 4's final stat line against the Cowboys, aside from the touchdowns, was Doubs catching 6-of-8 targets for 58 yards. On the season, Doubs is tied with tight end Tucker Kraft with 19 targets and is second to Kraft in receptions and yards. Despite the raw totals, Doubs is averaging less than five targets, just over three receptions, and 45 yards in per-game statistics. With bye weeks here for fantasy, Doubs is a little bit of a reach for fantasy lineups, but in a good matchup against the Bengals in Week 6, Doubs is merely a low-end flex option for fantasy managers.
