Kyle Pitts, TE, ATL

19 receiving yards, 2.9 points.

Another week of just two catches and 19 yards is not what we expected from the sophomore.

I HOPE YOU STARTED

Sure, Tua Tagovailoa was only the second best QB in the game he played, but he was also the second best QB overall this week. His 469 passing yards and six TDs tallied him more than 40 points against the Ravens. It’s a shame that he was only started in 12% of Yahoo leagues.

-Rookie Garrett Wilson showed everyone why he was highly touted in the draft process with his performance this week. The Jets WR racked up 102 yards on eight receptions and scored the game-winning TD with just 15 second left against the Browns.
