Should You Start or Sit Kyle Pitts in Week 15?
When growing up, did you sometimes get so angry at a sibling, cousin, or pet that your emotions came out as laughter instead of anything violent? Like, a weird chuckle that sort of resembled a villain in a horror movie, where it was clear that the frustration was bubbling beneath the surface and just manifesting itself in an odd, nightmare-inducing cackle?
That’s about where we are in the Kyle Pitts experience. Over his past three games, the former Gator has run 82 routes and turned them into just 11 targets and 23 yards.
Gross.
Over the past 20 seasons, there have been three instances in which a tight end ran over 25 routes and earned multiple targets but failed to clear 15 receiving yards in three straight games
- Levine Toilolo (2014)
- Cameron Brate (2021)
- Pitts (2024, active)
Is that an oddly specific list? Of course, it is, but I don’t think you’d argue that it is an oddly specific way to highlight ineptitude at the highest of levels and that is what we are looking at here.
Harness the feelings you have toward Pitts right now and I’ll do the same. Together, we can resist the urge to go back to the well in August.
I hope.
