Who is a better fantasy pick for Week 9 - Taysom Hill or Kyle Pitts?

The New Orleans Saints have Taysom Hill, who can play at different positions on the field. He started his career as a QB, and played as a wide receiver in two seasons. The Saints are using him as their TE this season as he continues to perform his duties as an outstanding offensive player.

But his comparison is with one of the best in the league, Kyle Pitts.

Who do you think will earn more fantasy points?

Kyle Pitts plays for the Atlanta Falcons and entered the season as their TE1. Pitts has started in all seven games he has played this season and has recorded 21 receptions on 39 targets for 258 yards and two touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Taysom Hill has started just two games out of the seven and has three receptions on four targets for 16 yards and one touchdown. Saints TE2 Adam Trautman is questionable for the upcoming game. If Trautman misses the game, Hill might score more targets than usual, but Juwan Johnson would be there to start for the Falcons.

If you play fantasy football and are confused between Taysom Hill and Kyle Pitts, then we would suggest that you start with Kyle Pitts. He is TE1 for the Falcons and is looking healthy to play in the Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday.
