Now, if you’re sittin’ there wonderin’ who you should start for your fantasy football team, Dallas Goedert or Kyle Pitts, let me tell ya, it’s a tough one. Both of ’em are big ol’ names in the NFL, but when it comes to fantasy, well, things ain’t always as clear as you might think. Don’t get me wrong, both of ’em got their strong points, but they’re different kinds of players. Let’s take a good ol’ look at both of ’em so you can make up your mind.
First off, Dallas Goedert:
Now, this feller’s been around for a while, and he’s with the Philadelphia Eagles. You ain’t gonna go wrong with him most weeks. He gets plenty of targets, especially in that pass-heavy offense they got. He’s reliable when you need him, and if he’s healthy, he’s usually good for a decent chunk of yards and maybe a touchdown or two. Ain’t no secret that he’s a favorite of the Eagles’ QB, Jalen Hurts. When Hurts is throwin’ the ball, Goedert’s usually right there lookin’ to catch it.
But here’s the kicker, though: sometimes, the Eagles got so many weapons that Goedert’s numbers can go up and down. Some weeks he’ll get targeted a lot, other weeks not so much. But when he does get the ball, you can count on him to make a play. He ain’t as flashy as some other tight ends, but he’s solid enough that he’s still worth a start, especially in PPR leagues.
Then we got Kyle Pitts:
Now, if you’re lookin’ at Pitts, well, this young feller’s a different kind of beast. He plays for the Atlanta Falcons, and folks was real high on him when he came into the league. They was expectin’ him to be a superstar, like a wide receiver stuck in a tight end’s body, but let me tell ya, things ain’t always gone as planned. The Falcons, for one, ain’t been throwin’ the ball as much as some other teams, and that means Pitts sometimes just ain’t gettin’ the targets he needs.
Still, Pitts has that big play potential. You watch him out there, and you see why folks were excited. He’s tall, he’s fast, and when he does get the ball, he can make things happen. The problem is, he don’t always get the ball. If you’re playin’ fantasy, you need a guy that you can count on week after week, and Pitts… well, he’s a bit of a gamble. One week he might give you a touchdown and 80 yards, the next week he might be sittin’ there with 2 catches for 20 yards.
So, who should you pick?
Well, that depends. If you want consistency and a guy who’s gonna get a good amount of looks each week, you might wanna go with Goedert. He’s been more reliable overall, even if his numbers aren’t as high as Pitts’ sometimes. But if you’re lookin’ for that big upside, and you’re willin’ to take a bit of a risk, Pitts could be the one to gamble on. He might not get the looks every week, but when he does, it could pay off big.
Important Things to Consider:
- Health: Make sure both players are healthy. Ain’t no point in starting someone who’s hurt.
- Matchups: Some teams are better against tight ends than others, so take a look at who each team is playin’.
- Consistency: Goedert’s been more consistent, but Pitts can have those big breakout weeks.
So, there ya have it. It ain’t an easy choice, but with a little luck and some careful lookin’, you’ll make the right call. Whether you go with Goedert or Pitts, just remember: fantasy football’s all about makin’ the best decision you can with the information you got. And hey, sometimes you gotta roll the dice a little too!
