I’ve been kicking myself for ignoring the signs of a potential Kyle Pitts breakout game. The fifth-year Falcons tight end has been Kirk Cousins’s favorite target for a few weeks now with star receiver Drake London sidelined.
Pitts had productive stat lines against the Jets and Seahawks before exploding for a three-touchdown performance in Thursday night’s comeback win over the Buccaneers. I wonder how many fantasy managers kept Pitts in their starting lineups throughout the season, regardless of the ups and downs. He’s been a decent start and came through in a big way for the start of the fantasy football playoffs.
