One of the most prominent fantasy disappointments thus far this year has been Kyle Pitts. Most attribute his shortage of output to quarterback Marcus Mariota's subpar performance and Arthur Smith's play-calling. Nevertheless, Pitts has not yet paid off for fantasy managers this year.Pitts maintained his start-of-the-season troubles in the last game he played, catching just one of four passes for 25 yards. However, even if his form continues, his output might still be the result of strategy rather than talent.Hasbulla F.F.C.@HasbullaEliteFCBilly, this is Kyle PittsHe’s a 21 year old 6’6” tight end that runs a 4.44 40 yard dash.

The tight end seems prepared to make his one-game absence come to an end when he returns against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6. Unfortunately, his contribution has been underwhelming up to this point in the year, with the exception of a strong Week 3 effort against the Seattle Seahawks.Pitts has caught only 10 of 22 targets for 150 yards through four matches this season, giving his fantasy owners 15 points.Dave Kluge@DaveKlugeAssuming he plays, Kyle Pitts is my TE3 this week.

He might not be an extremely useful fantasy option against San Francisco in Week 6 as the 49ers have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs this year. Pitts might yet again be prevented from reaching the end zone as no tight end has scored against San Francisco in through five weeks.Should you drop Kyle Pitts?Kyle Pitts should not be dropped at this time under any circumstances. It likely took a high pick in the draft to acquire the Falcons tight end, so turning back now would not be logical. His 2022 production's preliminary results are undoubtedly underwhelming. Still, he possesses the skills to be among the finest in his position this season. If you have him in your squad, retain him and use him frequently because he can explode if the Atlanta Falcons' offense starts to gel.Michael Rothstein@mikerothsteinFalcons TE Kyle Pitts said he expects to play Sunday.82472Falcons TE Kyle Pitts said he expects to play Sunday.Trading Kyle Pitts right now would be merely a short-term benefit strategy. You'd be trading at a loss, and there's a good chance that his long-term rebound is unavoidable. Pitts has a ton of real-life trade potential and might be sold because he doesn't match the Falcons' preferred style of play.
