Who Should I Start? Kyle Pitts Sr. or Trey McBride

Saturday, October 24, 7:56 AM

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. drew seven targets in Week 6, the second-most on the team behind Drake London (10), and scored for the second straight week, recording five catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns. The performance followed a recent upward trend that has seen the 6-foot-6 tight end become more involved in the passing game, notching 13 receptions over the last three contests after being held to just two catches over his first three games of the season. Unfortunately, it will be an uphill battle in order to continue that trend this week, with the 49ers ranking as the second-toughest defense in terms of allowing fantasy points to tight ends, with opposing TEs failing to find the end zone against them even once so far this season. His recent usage is certainly encouraging, and the rest-of-season outlook is growing brighter after a miserable start, but this week, the 26-year-old shapes up as a mid-range TE2, ranking as the No. 16 TE overall at RotoBaller.
