You thought Kyle Pitts is gonna be a tight end one set and forget it every week.
He gets to a zero last week.
I’m, I’m pretty much at total panic with Kyle Pitts.
If you viewed him that way, if you can get Tucker Craft for Cal Pits, I’m willing to make that trade off right now.
And I know people are gonna be like, well, what if Pitts comes around?
I, I say this every year, if you don’t make a regretful drop at some point in the fantasy season, you’re playing far too conservatively.
You have to go to what’s working now and, and Pitts isn’t prioritized.
They don’t know how to use them, even if Pitts were to kind of find his way.
He’s still probably the third most talented skilled player in this offense and they’re getting some mileage out of Mooney too.
Who I, I think it again by week season Darnell Mooney, who I’ve been trying to promote his roster tag just keeps climbing very slowly, but he’s getting a very great, very consistent route and target here every week.
But it should have happened by now for Pitts, it’s not happening.
I think you have to eat again the tight end landscape.
It, it’s ugly but Kraft is probably somebody because after the injury to Jordan Love in week one, they downscaled the offense for a couple of weeks.
Kraft was kind of lost in the shuffle but he was really good in that week four game and not just the touchdown.
He also caught a two point conversion in that game which is reflects future goal line equity.
I’m, I’m ready right now.
If you can drop Kyle Pitts and get Tucker Craft, I’m in.
Yep, I’m with you.
Um, I think the idea of Kyle Pitts has carried on long enough and like the reality of Kyle Pitts is just not with the e even, even if he does come back and is a start up fantasy tight end.
I don’t think he’ll kill you to the point that you, he’s the reason you lost in fantasy this year is because you didn’t hang on to Kyle Pitts.
So, um, you know, don’t you can rage, drop him for a good option, which I do think Tuck Craft is a really good option at this point.
So, yeah, I’m with you.
Uh, probably a little bit of total panic if Kyle Pitts is your set it and forget it, tight end one.
