Who Should I Start? Noah Fant or Kyle Pitts Sr.

Saturday, November 15, 12:53 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant has had a small uptick in fantasy production of late. While the volume hasn't been there, the veteran has at least found the end zone in two of the Bengals' previous three contests. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) still on the shelf, Fant remains the favorite to remain the team's go-to tight end for Joe Flacco (shoulder), at least for the next few games. However, that doesn't mean Fant is a starting fantasy option for the Week 11 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers, although he can be viewed as a dart-throw streamer for those participating in deep league, multi-tight end formats.

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.
